PEI PNP Issues 160 Invitations to Apply Through Expression of Interest

Prince Edward Island continues to align its immigration strategy with labour market demands and federal allocations through the PEI Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The province is currently focusing on skilled workers in high-demand sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and trades, while invitations for candidates in sales and service roles remain limited.

Through the Expression of Interest (EOI) system, the PEI Office of Immigration identifies individuals most likely to contribute to the province’s economic growth based on factors like language proficiency, education, work experience, and job offers. This merit-based approach ensures that selected candidates meet the evolving workforce needs of Prince Edward Island.
