Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) provide a route to permanent residence for individuals aiming to immigrate to a particular Canadian province or territory. Through the provincial nomination process Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories can nominate individuals through the PNP. To be nominated, candidates must have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to the economy of that province or territory and must want to live there.
Every Canadian province and territory with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut, operate very specific program streams geared at meeting the province’s unique needs. The various PNP streams have differing eligibility criteria and application processes. Over the last few years, PNPs have become one of the easiest pathways to permanent residence in Canada.
How Provincial Nominee Programs Work
Immigrating to Canada through a PNP is a two-step process. Since provinces do not make a final decision about granting permanent residence status in Canada, after making an application for a provincial nomination, candidates would then need to complete step two of the dual-step process, to apply for permanent residence at the federal level.
Some PNP streams are aligned with Canada’s Express Entry system, allowing candidates to get an additional 600 points towards their Comprehensive Ranking System points. This virtually guarantees an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Express Entry.
PNP programs are an important part of Canada’s immigration system and play a key role in meeting the country’s labour market needs. They provide Canadian employers with access to a pool of highly qualified and skilled workers and help provinces and territories meet their specific immigration and labour market needs.
In addition, PNP programs help to support the integration of new immigrants into the Canadian community and contribute to the social and economic development of the country.
