On March 1, 2022, Prince Edward Island’s Office of Immigration has launched a new stream to fill in-demand jobs and tackle the labour shortages in the province. The new Occupations in Demand stream accepts applicants under four NOCs: NOC 3413 Nurse aides, orderlies, and patient service associates; NOC 7511 Transport truck drivers; NOC 7611 Construction trades helpers and labourers; and NOC 6731 Light duty cleaners. All candidates must have a full-time, non-seasonal permanent job offer from a PEI employer, one year of work experience directly related to the job, at least a secondary school diploma, a valid language test result, and sufficient financial resources. Applicants also must be 18 to 59 years old and demonstrate a genuine intention to settle in the province.
