Starting April 1, 2025, Prince Edward Island implemented the Temporary Foreign Worker Protection Act, introducing new requirements for recruitment agencies. Recruiters interested in obtaining a license can apply through the portal, where additional details about the Act are also available. A grace period will be provided until July 1, 2025, allowing individuals to continue offering recruitment services without a license. However, after this date, any recruitment of foreign workers for PEI employers without a proper license will be deemed a violation of the Act. Recruiters must comply with these new regulations to avoid potential legal repercussions and significant penalties, with fines reaching up to $5,000.
