On June 19, 2025, the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) conducted its fifth draw of the year, issuing 52 Invitations to Apply (ITAs). This latest draw reflects the province’s ongoing focus on skilled talent and economic contribution, especially in sectors facing workforce shortages.
The draw targeted two specific streams:
- Labour & Express Entry Stream
- Business Work Permit Entrepreneur Stream
Of the total 52 invitations:
- 51 were sent to candidates under the Labour & Express Entry stream
- 1 was issued under the Business Work Permit Entrepreneur stream, with a minimum score threshold of 150 points
This brings the total number of Prince Edward Island PNP invitations issued in 2025 to 621.
Sectors Driving Immigration Invitations in PEI
Prince Edward Island is currently prioritizing candidates whose skills directly support its economic growth. High-demand sectors include:
- Healthcare
- Trades
- Manufacturing
- Agriculture
- Construction
Candidates working in these sectors had a higher chance of being selected during the June 19 draw. However, occupations in the sales and service sectors are currently not a priority, meaning EOIs in those fields are less likely to be invited.

- Your profile enters the selection pool
- PEI immigration authorities may invite you in a future draw if your occupation aligns with provincial priorities
It’s important to note that PEI retains the right to limit intake or skip EOIs from sectors not currently in demand.
