Prince Edward Island PNP has conducted its first invitation round of the month.

The PEI PNP latest draw held on March 21, 2024, saw invitations being issued to 85 candidates under both Business Work Permit Entrepreneur and Labour & Express Entry categories.

Invitation Date	Business Work Permit Entrepreneur Invitations	Minimum Point Threshold For Business Invitations	Labour & Express Entry Invitations	Invitation Totals Over Last 12 Months	Selection Attributes
March 21, 2024	2	80	83	85	Invitations were issued to candidates working in the Healthcare, Construction, and Manufacturing sectors.

This draw is in line with the PEI PNP draw schedule for 2024. PEI is the only Canadian province that makes its draw schedule public in advance. We can expect 23 PEI PNP draws in 2024.

The PEI Expression of Interest (EOI) system gathers important information about candidates in the pool and invites those who are most likely to meet Prince Edward Island’s economic and labour market needs. The PEI EOI selection process is based on one or more of the following attributes:

Language: English or French
Education: level and field of education and where completed
Skill and work experience level
Strategic priorities: attributes that would address immediate labour market needs in PEI
Other factors relevant to employment prospects: including but not limited to having a job offer in PEI and/or previous Canadian work experience.
