On July 16, Prince Edward Island (PEI) announced invitations for 195 candidates to apply for provincial nomination.

The draw reflected PEI’s strategy of targeting individuals already residing and working in the province in sectors facing labor shortages.

PEI has maintained a consistent monthly schedule for provincial immigration rounds throughout 2026.

Key Details of the Draw

The recent draw by the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) issued invitations through its Labour Impact and PEI Express Entry streams.

Prioritized consideration was given to international students who graduated from specific post-secondary institutions, including University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Holland College, and Collège de l’Île.

All invitation rounds in 2026 have focused on graduates from these three local institutions.
