Prince Edward Island has issued 90 invitations as part of its October 2026 Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw. These invitations are aimed at skilled professionals whose expertise supports the local economic development of the province.
The PNP remains a critical tool for PEI to address its specific labor market needs. By selecting candidates who have the skills to fill high-demand roles, the province ensures it remains a competitive and attractive destination for new talent.
Candidates who received invitations are now tasked with moving forward with their applications for provincial nomination. This routine draw demonstrates the province's ongoing commitment to using the PNP to foster sustainable economic growth.

Quebec’s incoming Parti Québécois government proposes reducing annual permanent admissions from about 45,000 to 35,000, a 22% decrease.
The party’s plan also targets about 40,000 workers under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, down from more than 80,000 currently, and 50,000 international students, down from over 120,000.
Other proposals include stricter French-language requirements and a moratorium on permanent economic immigration directly from outside Quebec, with candidates instead selected from temporary residents already in the province.
These proposals are not yet in effect; Quebec’s next annual immigration plan, expected in November, may clarify implementation.
