Critical Worker Stream

If you are currently working in PEI, then you can apply for nomination for a Canada PR through the Critical Worker Stream of PEI PNP. This stream is employer-driven. And helps the island fill low-skilled job positions.

Who can apply?

To apply, meet the Critical Worker Stream terms such as:

• Firstly, have a full-time, long-term (permanent or minimum of 2-years) job offer from a PEI employer in NOC Skill Level C or D;
• Secondly, have a minimum of 6 months of full-time work experience for the PEI employer;
• Also, must have a valid work permit and legal status in Canada.
• Besides, attend an interview with a staff member from the immigration office (if required);
• Have a minimum secondary school education;

• Give proof of language skills – Minimum CLB/NCLC 4 level;
• Further, give proof of settlement funds;
• Finally, show intent to live and settle in PEI.

Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI)

An EOI is not a formal application to PEI. But shows your interest in applying to the program. If you meet the above terms, then you must create an EOI profile.

EOI Points Grid

To submit an EOI, meet the terms of the EOI grid. The grid is divided into 6 areas. Further, each grid gives points as per the data that you give. Also, the maximum points that you can get are 100.

Age

Language Skills

All applicants must show proof of job-ready English. Because PEI PNP needs all applicants to be able to communicate in English to live, work, and settle in Canada. Thus, an EOI profile gets an extra 10 points for giving proof of language skills in both English and French.

To do so you can submit test results for English/French showing skills in 4 key areas such as Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.

You can submit test results for IELTS, CELPIP, TEF, and TCF with the required CLB level (English) or NCLC level (French). Besides, these test results must not be more than 2 years old at the time of applying.
