Prince Edward Island Issues 129 Invitations with Focus on Local Employment and University Graduates

Published Date: September 24, 2025

Prince Edward Island (PEI) conducted its latest Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw on September 19, 2025, issuing a total of 129 invitations to eligible candidates. This draw exclusively distributed invitations through the Labour Impact and Express Entry categories, while no invitations were issued under the Business Work Permit Entrepreneur category.

According to reports, this round of selections focused on candidates working in occupations and industry sectors that demonstrate significant economic impact on the province. The Prince Edward Island immigration department indicated that priority consideration was given to individuals employed by local employers, as well as international graduates from the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Holland College, and Collège de l'Île.

Statistical data reveals that as of this draw, Prince Edward Island has issued a cumulative total of 921 invitations through the Labour Impact and Express Entry categories in 2025. The province's immigration policy continues to emphasize skilled workers with local connections and high retention potential.

The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program regularly invites candidates through three main categories: Labour Impact Category, Express Entry Category, and Business Work Permit Entrepreneur Category. Each category maintains specific application requirements and scoring criteria.

Immigration authorities recommend that candidates interested in applying for Prince Edward Island immigration should maintain up-to-date personal profiles and ensure they meet the relevant category requirements to improve their chances of selection in future draws.

The province's immigration strategy reflects the proactive approach of Canadian provinces in attracting and retaining international talent, particularly prioritizing applicants who have already established professional connections or educational backgrounds locally. This approach aims to ensure that new immigrants can better integrate into local communities and contribute to provincial economic development.

For applicants planning to apply for Canadian permanent residency through provincial nominee programs, understanding the specific requirements and draw frequencies of each province is crucial for developing immigration strategies. As Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island offers relatively flexible immigration programs, providing diverse immigration pathways for international applicants.

Manitoba Holds First November Draw, Focusing on Strategic Recruitment Initiative Candidates

On November 6, 2025, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) held its first draw of the month, issuing invitations to apply for provincial nomination to nearly 50 skilled worker candidates. A unique feature of this draw was that all invited individuals had to have previously declared being invited by the MPNP under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative. This draw follows a period of fluctuation for Manitoba's immigration allocation. After the federal government significantly cut the province's quota early in 2025, successful lobbying led to a substantial recovery in October, bringing the annual total to 6,239 nominations. Combined with the federal government's newly released multi-year immigration levels plan, Manitoba's capacity to nominate immigrants is expected to expand further in the coming years.

Applications will be prioritized for candidates whose work permits expire within the next three months, followed by filing date order; if processing exceeds capacity or cannot be finalized by December 23, applications will be withdrawn, with the option to reapply in 2026.
