The April 17, 2025 Draw for Expressions of Interest in Prince Edward Island: zoom on the 168 invitations

On April 17, 2025, the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) held a new draw for its Expression of Interest (EOI) system. A total of 168 invitations were issued to candidates in the Labour and Express Entry streams. These invitations are primarily targeted at profiles capable of meeting the province's economic priorities.

Target candidates: priority to workers based in the province

This draw focused on people already living and working in PEI for at least a year. This demonstrates the province's commitment to retaining local talent who are already socially and professionally integrated. Invitations were extended to priority sectors based on local economic impact, such as healthcare, construction, food processing and more.

Promoting PEI's international graduates

International graduates from the province's institutions, such as the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Holland College and Collège de l'Île, were among the profiles prioritized. This orientation aims to support the sustainable integration of international students who have chosen Prince Edward Island for their studies and wish to build their future here.

Selection criteria for the PEI EOI system

Prince Edward Island's EOI system evaluates candidates on several key criteria:

• Language: Proficiency in English or French
• Education: Level, field of study and place obtained
• Professional experience: Field and duration
• Job offer: Presence of a local employer
• Strategic priorities: Responding to urgent labor market needs

These factors enable the province to select the most relevant profiles for its economic and social development.
