OINP Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills stream

Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills allows foreign workers who have a job offer in specific in-demand occupations such as in agriculture, construction, trucking, and personal support work to apply to live and work permanently in Ontario. Both foreign workers inside and outside of Canada can apply for this stream.
To be nominated by the Ontario government for permanent residence, you must first register in the OINP’s Expression of Interest System and receive an invitation to apply.

You must then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) if you are nominated. IRCC makes the final decision on who becomes a permanent resident

Prince Edward Island

Critical Workers

You can apply for permanent residency through the Critical Worker stream of the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) if you are currently employed there. In PEI’s Critical Worker stream, employers are allowed to fill intermediate-skilled positions that aren’t fillable on the local job market.

Intermediate Experience Stream

You can apply for permanent residency through the Intermediate Experience stream (formerly called the NOC C Initiative) of the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP). PEI’s Intermediate Experience stream is employer-driven and allows Island employers to fill intermediate-skilled positions that they cannot fill through the local job market.

Occupations in Demand

The Occupations in Demand stream is a program that allows employers to fill specific positions that cannot be filled by the local job market. This stream can be utilized both within and outside of Canada.
An employer on PEI has offered you a full-time, non-seasonal permanent job in either

 NOC 3413 (Nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates);

You would apply to the Critical Impact Worker stream if, for instance, you have been given an offer to work as a Food Counter Attendant (NOC code 6711).
