The PEI Skilled Worker Stream is another employer-driven stream of Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP). There are two streams for skilled workers,

Skilled Worker in PEI – is for applicants who are already working in the province and would like to settle down in PEI.
Skilled Worker Outside Canada – is for applicants who are outside Canada

Both the streams have same requirements, application process and document requirements. The only difference is from where the applicants are coming.

The PEI Skilled Worker Stream allows employers to recruit high-skilled workers in job positions in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3. Applicants can only apply for a nomination (subsequently Canada PR) if they are selected by the employer.

The employer must prove that they have been unable to fill the job positions locally.
