What was announced

PEI’s official October 16 results report 164 invitations in the combined Labour and Express Entry categories. The province did not publish a separate invitation count for each of those two categories or a Labour and Express Entry minimum score.

PEI continues to prioritize skilled workers in health care, trades, manufacturing and other sectors with labour shortages. Its notice cautions that sales and service workers may not receive an invitation at this time. Selection can consider language, education, experience, provincial priorities and employment prospects.

What this may mean for applicants

An Expression of Interest is not an application or a promise of selection. Check your stream requirements, job circumstances and profile accuracy before relying on a PEI pathway. The published total does not establish that every eligible occupation was invited.
