Limits of the record

  • chars 3999-4207
    The Skilled Worker Stream may be utilized for talent recruitment outside of Canada, if the Prince Edward Island Employer has received authorization from the Office of Immigration prior to issuing a job offer.

    have a full-time, non-seasonal (permanent or minimum of two years) job offer from a PEI employer in a high skilled occupation defined by the Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibility classification system as [TEER category 0, 1, 2, or 3](https://noc.esdc.gc.ca/Structure/Matrix?GoCTemplateCulture=en-CA "(opens in a new window)"); _**Important note:**_ Through this stream, your employer must receive authorization from our office prior to submitting an expression of interest profile; - have at least two years of full‐time work experience in the past five years; - have legal status in country of residence; - have successfully completed a post‐secondary degree or diploma (minimum two year program); - be between the ages of 18 and 59;

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

Where the Prince Edward Island employer has obtained authorisation from the Office of Immigration before issuing the job offer, the applicant is given a Work Permit Support Letter with which to seek a work permit. The official source does not state what work the resulting permit allows or whether family may accompany.

Limits of the record
  • The capture does not state what work the resulting permit allows, how long it lasts, or whether a spouse or dependants may accompany.
  • The same page states elsewhere, outside this slice, that the applicant is required to work with one employer until permanent residence is granted; that sentence sits in the post-nomination paragraph and is not written as a condition of the work permit itself.
  • chars 1622-1933
    The Skilled Worker Stream may be utilized for talent recruitment outside of Canada, if the Prince Edward Island Employer has received authorization from the Office of Immigration prior to issuing a job offer. With approval, a Work Permit Support Letter would be provided for the applicant to seek a Work Permit.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

After nomination the applicant is responsible for submitting an Application for Permanent Residency to IRCC together with the nomination certificate, and IRCC then assesses it for admissibility factors. The official source does not state how long any work permit is granted for or how it is renewed.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The capture sets no deadline for filing the permanent-residence application after nomination.
  • The capture does not state how long the work permit obtained with the support letter is granted for, nor how it is renewed; unlike the Intermediate Experience and International Graduates pages, this page has no 'My Work Permit is expiring soon' section at all.
  • chars 7063-7470

IRCC will then assess your application for admissibility factors.
