Prince Edward Island’s (PEI's) new Temporary Foreign Worker Protection Act comes into force on April 1, 2025.

College licensees who want to apply for a recruiter licence in PEI can do so from April 1 at www.princeedwardisland.ca/TFWP where detailed information about the Act can also be found.

A grace period will be in effect until July 1, 2025, during which individuals can continue providing recruitment services without a licence.

Anyone providing foreign national recruitment services for PEI employers without a licence after July 1, 2025, will be considered in violation of the Act.

Any questions about the Act or licence application process can be submitted by email to TFWP@gov.pe.ca or by calling 902-368-5550.
