Pharmacist — Sobeys Pharmacy, Summerside PEI (Relocation Covered, Up to CAD 69/hour, LMIA)

Two details make this posting unusual. First, the employer covers relocation costs — written plainly in the official Job Bank listing. Second, the pay band: CAD 53.50 to 69.00 per hour on a permanent contract with a full benefits stack. Sobeys Capital Inc. — one of Canada's largest grocery and pharmacy retailers — is hiring a pharmacist for its Summerside, Prince Edward Island store, with an approved LMIA and the posting explicitly open to candidates with or without a valid Canadian work permit. It closes 22 October 2026.

The role

Community/retail pharmacy in a Sobeys store. From the posting's task list: dispensing and checking prescriptions, compounding, counselling customers on indications, interactions and dosage, maintaining medication profiles including narcotics and controlled drugs, supervising pharmacy assistants and technicians, and quality control on drug products. You'd be leading a small team, not standing alone at a counter.

What they ask for

• Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy (PharmD, BS, BSc, BPharm)
• Licensure by the provincial regulatory authority — and the posting names PEBC (Pharmacy Examining Boards of Canada) certification and injection-administration certification
• Experience is an asset
• English
• Valid driver's licence

If you're an internationally trained pharmacist, the licensing sequence (PEBC → provincial college) is the real mountain. But this is exactly the kind of employer-side vacancy — relocation paid, LMIA approved — that makes finishing that climb worth it.

The benefits stack, because it matters

Health, dental and vision care, disability, paramedical coverage, bonus, group and life insurance, pension plan, stocks/shares, mileage paid, maternity and parental benefits, long-term care insurance, free parking. This is a corporate package, not a handshake.

Pay and conditions

• CAD 53.50–69.00/hour, to be negotiated
• 80 hours bi-weekly (full time), shift work — mornings, days, evenings, nights, weekends
• Permanent employment
• On site, Summerside PE

The LMIA is the employer's cost — never yours. Real retailers don't charge pharmacists placement fees.
