Prince Edward Island continues to focus on skilled workers and international graduates as it moves ahead with its 2026 immigration plans.
On February 19, 2026, Prince Edward Island conducted its newest selection round under the PEI Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP). The draw followed the province’s expected Invitation to Apply (ITA) schedule for the year.
In this round, the province issued 109 invitations through its Labour Impact and Express Entry categories. Officials selected candidates who show strong ties to the province and who work in fields that support PEI’s economy.

Officials describe the tool as a starting point only. It helps applicants understand where they might fit, but it does not confirm eligibility.
The province advises candidates to take two practical steps:
By following this approach, applicants can better understand program requirements and improve their chances of success.
Prince Edward Island continues to adjust its immigration strategy to meet labour market needs while encouraging skilled workers and graduates to build their future in the province.
