On March 1, 2022, Prince Edward Island’s Office of Immigration has introduced a new stream to help employers fill in-demand jobs in the province.
The new Occupations in Demand stream will be an employer-driven program that allows employers to hire prospective immigrants to positions, such as nurses, accommodation housekeepers, truckers, or construction labourers that they are unable to fill through the local job market.
According to Matthew MacKay, Economic Growth, Tourism and Culture Minister, “Prince Edward Island is facing significant labour shortages, while also experiencing an increased demand for specific skills.”
