Recently, the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) invited 181 candidates to apply for provincial nomination, focusing on in-province workers in priority sectors with high economic impact potential. This draw marks the eighth round of selections in 2026.

The PEI PNP issued invitations under two streams: Labour Impact and PEI Express Entry. Priority consideration was given to international students who graduated from specific post-secondary institutions in the province.
- University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI)
