EOI, selection, and fees
An EOI is not a nomination application and does not guarantee an invitation. An EOI is valid for 6 months. Effective 01/11/2025, candidates who receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) have 30 days to submit a complete application. PEI currently selects based on federal allocation, application volume, and labor needs; priority is given to high-demand sectors such as healthcare, trades, childcare, and industries with critical labor shortages. Sales and service candidates may not receive an ITA at this time.
Creating an EOI is free. If invited to submit a Workforce application, there is a non-refundable provincial fee of 300 CAD.
