Prince Edward Island International Graduates

You can apply for a nomination for permanent residency through the International Graduate stream of the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP), if you graduated from a publicly-funded PEI post-secondary institution. The International Graduate stream is employer-driven, allowing Island employers to fill positions that they are unable to fill through the local job market.

Eligibility:

To be eligible to apply for the PEI International Graduate stream you must:

• have a post-secondary degree or diploma from a publicly-funded Prince Edward Island institution;
• have a full-time, non-seasonal (i.e. permanent or minimum of two years) job offer from a PEI employer;
• have a valid post-graduate work permit and legal status in Canada;
• be able to attend an interview with staff from the Office, if required;
• if in a high skilled occupation defined by the Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibility classification system as TEER category 0, 1, 2, or 3, possess sufficient English and/or French language ability to perform the job by providing a completed PEIW-02: Workforce Job Offer Form, indicating the employer is comfortable with the employee's proficiency in English and/or French to perform tasks associated with the job position being offered;
• if in an intermediate-skilled position defined by the Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibility classification system as TEER category 4 or 5, to provide a valid language test result from an IRCC-approved testing institution with a minimum score of CLB/NCLC 4. Language tests are valid for 2 years after the date of the test result;
• be between the ages of 18 and 59;
• have sufficient financial resources to pay all immigration costs (including travel expenses) for you and your family to be able to establish in PEI; and
• demonstrate a genuine intention to settle in PEI.

The advantages of Prince Edward Island International Graduates

• There is no minimum requirement for language

Recent graduates from an approved PEI post-secondary institution who are currently working in the province with a valid Post-Graduate Work Permit can take advantage of the International Graduate program.

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and How it works 

The Federal Government of Canada has entered into bilateral agreements with provinces and territories (except Quebec and Nunavut) to allow the provinces and territories to nominate individuals for permanent residence based on the provinces' assessment of the nominees' ability to contribute to the economic growth and development of those provinces.

Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements, selecting applicants that

• have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory
• want to live in that province, and
• want to become permanent residents of Canada

To obtain permanent residence via Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), you must go through two steps:

1. You must decide where you want to live in Canada and apply to that province or territory for a stream that you're eligible for. SuperVisas can help you with it in this application.
2. After a province or territory nominates you, you must apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence. The IRCC, a federal agency, will assess your application based on Canadian immigration law. If you have already obtained your nomination from a province or territory, please go to our program: Permanent Residence – Provincial Nominee Class.
