The labour and the Express Entry invitations mainly focused on those individuals who are already employed in the following sectors:

  • Healthcare
  • Trades and manufacturing
  • Technology and Business Services

The list of candidates who were selected to work in this draw had already worked for one year at PEI employers in these areas, and their work permits were valid at the time of their drawing.

So, what is PEI PNP?

The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Programme (PEI PNP) is an economic immigration programme that gives the province the chance to nominate people who are likely to settle and succeed in the province because they match local labour needs.

There are three streams in the program:

  • The federal Express Entry system is matched with the PEI Express Entry Stream.
  • Labour Impact Category: Skilled workers are already employed in the province
  • Business Impact Category: Foreign entrepreneurs who plan to establish an enterprise in PEI

The PEI PNP Latest Draw was focused on the first two categories, reinforcing PEI’s strategy of retaining in-province workers and attracting foreign talent.

When is the Next PEI PNP Draw?

Prince Edward Island has an invitation given monthly. Based on the regularity of past draws, the next PEI PNP draw is expected to be held around July 17, 2025.

The potential candidates should consider keeping their profiles up to date and completed on the Expression of Interest (EOI). This is particularly advisable to those that may be already in PEI or have affiliations with the province.

Expression of interest (EOI) and selection process

Anyone who would want to be chosen based on the PEI PNP has to do an Expression of Interest (EOI) first. Some of the factors that are considered to rank the applicants using the EOI system are:

  • Age
  • Education
  • Work experience
  • Language proficiency
  • PEI employment
  • Adaptability

The most ranked candidates are invited in every draw.

In this Canada Immigration News update, the province confirmed that the business stream remained highly selective, with only one entrepreneur receiving an invitation in this round.

Why is this important?

Compared to the Express Entry-only route, Prince Edward Island PNP is a smaller route with less competition for immigrants hoping to join the Canadian population. An invitation to apply for permanent residence at the federal level is essentially guaranteed by the PEI PNP, which offers the applicant the opportunity to receive a provincial nomination, which raises their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score by 600 points under Express Entry.

Also, the program offers employers within the province a trustworthy means of realising international talent that is already existing within the region by means of living and working within PEI.

Final Thoughts

The PEI PNP Latest Draw of June 19, 2025, highlights Prince Edward Island’s ongoing commitment to strategic immigration. As only 52 invitations had been given out, the draw shows that the province is selecting candidates carefully in terms of their matching its economic interests.

With the increasing number of candidates seeking to immigrate to Canada, PEI will continue being on the list of capable provinces to receive a working population that would desire to settle permanently in the country.

Those considering applying should stay informed about the Next PEI PNP draw and ensure their profiles meet all eligibility criteria.
