Prince Edward Island immigration draw
Prince Edward Island Issues 192 Labour and Express Entry Invitations
Prince Edward Island issued 192 invitations through its Labour and Express Entry categories on November 9, 2026, with priority given to workers in high-demand sectors.
What was announced
The Prince Edward Island Office of Immigration reported 192 invitations in its November 9, 2026 Expression of Interest draw. All invitations were issued through the Labour and Express Entry categories. No Business Work Permit Entrepreneur invitations were issued, and the province did not publish a minimum point threshold for the labour selections.
PEI says it is currently selecting and prioritizing skilled workers in higher-demand sectors such as healthcare, trades, manufacturing and other key industries facing labour shortages. People working in sales and service occupations may not receive an invitation at this time. The official draw table does not provide an occupation-by-occupation breakdown for the November 9 invitations.
An Expression of Interest is a profile used for selection, not an application or nomination. PEI may consider language, education, skill and work-experience level, strategic labour-market priorities, a PEI job offer and previous Canadian work experience. Provincial allocations, application volumes and changing labour needs also affect selection.
What this may mean for applicants
An invitation allows a selected candidate to submit the applicable provincial application; it does not guarantee nomination or permanent residence. Candidates should confirm that their EOI remains accurate and that they meet every requirement of the PEI stream named in the invitation before submitting documents within the applicable deadline.
