The PEI Office of Immigration prioritizes skilled workers in sectors such as healthcare, trades, and manufacturing through Expression of Interest draws. Invitations are extended to individuals based on economic impact and labour market demand, with international graduates from local institutions receiving priority. Expressions of Interest indicate interest in applying to the PEI Provincial Nominee Program but are not applications themselves.

• PEI immigration pathways depend on federal allocations, application volumes, and provincial labour market needs.
• Skilled workers in healthcare, trades, manufacturing, and other key industries are prioritized.
• Individuals in sales and service sectors may not receive invitations currently.
• Expression of Interest (EOI) is an indication of interest, not an application.
• The Office may limit intake or exclude certain EOIs.
• January 15, 2026 draw: 26 invitations extended to skilled workers and international graduates from UPEI, Holland College, and Collège de l'Île.
• February 19, 2026 draw: 109 invitations extended similarly.
