Prince Edward Island recently conducted its third provincial immigration draw of the year on March 20, extending invitations through its Labour Impact and Express Entry pathways.

According to the PEI Office of Immigration, the province continues to prioritize candidates working in sectors with a higher economic impact.

This latest draw brings the total number of invitations issued by the PEI Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to 236 so far in 2026, all through its Labour Impact and Express Entry streams.

This marks the province’s third round of selections in 2026.

Draw Results

In the recent draw, the PEI PNP issued 101 invitations through its Labour Impact and Express Entry categories.

Similar to previous draws in 2026, the province has emphasized candidates working in priority sectors facing labour shortages, including healthcare, trades, and manufacturing.

International graduates from local institutions received priority consideration in this draw.

The PEI PNP’s March 20 draw deviated slightly from its anticipated schedule.

The province has specified that individuals in sales and service sectors may not receive invitations at this time.
