On September 19, 2025, the Prince Edward Island Office of Immigration held its latest PEI EOI draw as part of the PEI Provincial Nominee Program. In this round, 129 invitations were issued through the Labour and Express Entry streams, with no invitations for the Business Work Permit Entrepreneur category.

This PEI EOI draw for September 2025 continued to prioritize candidates contributing to key economic sectors in PEI. Invitations targeted individuals working in occupations and sectors with significant economic impact, as identified by the province. Special emphasis was placed on those currently employed with a PEI employer and international graduates from the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Holland College, and Collège de l’Île.

The selection aligns with Prince Edward Island immigration updates that focus on addressing labour shortages by choosing applicants with existing employment or recent educational ties to the province. As with previous PEI Provincial Nominee Program draws, the EOI system evaluates candidates based on language proficiency, education, skills, work experience, and alignment with PEI’s labour market needs. The Office of Immigration retains the flexibility to adjust criteria or intake limits as necessary.

For immigration practitioners, note that candidates with current PEI employment or graduation from local institutions received priority in this PEI EOI draw September 2025. Advising clients to highlight ties to PEI employment or education may increase competitiveness.

The September 2025 PEI EOI draw demonstrates the province’s targeted immigration approach, supporting population growth and immediate economic contributions.
