Who Was Invited in the PEI PNP Draw on March 20, 2026?

All 101 invitations issued in the March 20 PEI PNP draw were under the Labour Impact and Express Entry streams, with zero invitations extended through the Business Work Permit Entrepreneur stream, a trend that has held across all three draws in 2026.

According to the official PEI Office of Immigration, the Selection Attributes for this draw confirm that invitations were extended to individuals working in occupations and priority sectors based on their economic impact in Prince Edward Island./p>

International graduates from the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Holland College, and Collège de l'Île were specifically prioritized in the invitations.

This makes the March 20 PEI PNP latest draw particularly significant for two candidate profiles:

  • Priority Sector Workers: Candidates employed in PEI's key economic sectors, including healthcare, skilled trades, and manufacturing, with a valid, full-time job offer from a PEI-based employer, remain the primary targets of the Labour Impact stream. These occupations must fall under NOC skill levels 0, A, or B to qualify.
  • PEI International Graduates: Candidates who have completed a program at UPEI, Holland College, or Collège de l'Île and are currently working or residing in Prince Edward Island PNP continue to receive strong preference, reflecting the province's commitment to retaining locally educated talent as permanent residents.
  • PEI Express Entry Candidates: Those with an active Express Entry profile under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program, or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) were also considered. A PEI nomination adds 600 points to a candidate's CRS score, effectively securing a subsequent federal ITA to apply for Canada PR.

No minimum point threshold was published for this draw, which is consistent with PEI's standard practice for Labour and Express Entry stream draws.
