Prince Edward Island has unveiled its anticipated Invitation to Apply (ITA) schedule for 2026, detailing the proposed dates for draws throughout the year.
This transparent schedule offers provincial nominee candidates in PEI insight into the upcoming draws, setting a precedent as the only province to release such a schedule.
When is PEI Planning to Conduct Immigration Draws?
In 2026, the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) is set to hold 12 Expression of Interest (EOI) draws. The schedule indicates that invitations will be issued monthly, typically around mid-month.
Below is a list of the planned draws for 2026:

| 2 | February 19, 2026 |
| 3 | March 19, 2026 |
| 4 | April 16, 2026 |
| 5 | May 21, 2026 |

PEI emphasizes that the ITA schedule is for informational purposes and does not guarantee draws on the specified dates. Draws may occur earlier or later than scheduled, and occasionally, multiple draws may take place in a month, as seen in 2025.
In 2025, PEI PNP conducted three surprise draws outside the regular schedule, in January, October, and December.
