PEI PNP has workforce streams (Skilled Workers Outside Canada, Critical Workers, Occupations in Demand), a PEI Express Entry stream and a Business Impact work permit stream. Workforce streams use an Expression of Interest, free to create, with a CAD 300 fee only if you are selected to apply.
Workforce EOI profiles stay active for 6 months and you can hold only one at a time. The Office of Immigration currently prioritises health care, trades and childcare, and sales and service workers may not receive an invitation. PEI has not published a 2026 nomination total. Check the official PEI draws page for current results.
For candidates who qualify for the federal Express Entry pool. PEI issues one nomination per applicant, so you must choose one stream. Priority goes to applicants currently working in PEI in a matching position, and length of time in the province is considered. Express Entry cannot be used to extend an expiring work permit. Detailed criteria and any fee are on the official PEI Express Entry page.
For workers outside Canada with a full-time, non-seasonal job offer in a TEER 0 to 3 occupation, permanent or at least 2 years long. The employer needs the Office of Immigration's authorization before you submit an EOI profile.
For workers already employed full-time in PEI in an intermediate-skilled position (TEER 4 or 5), with a permanent job offer or one of at least 2 years. The stream is employer-driven and the Office is currently prioritising health care, trades and childcare.
For workers with a full-time, permanent, non-seasonal job offer from a PEI employer in one of eight listed occupations, including nurse aides, transport truck drivers and light duty cleaners. The list is published on the official PEI page.
The only Business Impact route listed on PEI's business forms page. It includes an exploratory visit and a work permit stage. Net worth, investment and fee figures are not reproduced here because they could not be confirmed on the official PEI page. Invitations in this stream have been rare, and secondary sources report none in 2026 draws through August, so do not plan around an invitation in 2026. Check the official PEI draws page for current results.
