The Intermediate Experience Stream of the PEI Provincial Nominee Program prioritizes skilled workers in sectors with labour shortages such as health care, trades, and childcare. Eligible applicants must have a full-time, non-seasonal job offer in a TEER 4 category, relevant Canadian work experience, language proficiency, and meet other criteria. The stream may also be used for recruiting talent outside Canada with prior authorization. Applicants express interest via an online system and, if invited, apply for nomination with a $300 fee. Successful nominees receive a Work Permit Support Letter and must apply for permanent residency through IRCC.
