KEY-POINTS ABOUT CANADA PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM

1. Provincial Nominee Programs By Province/Territory: PNPs are administered by individual provinces and territories. Each province and territory have its own immigration streams and criteria tailored to its specific economic and demographic needs.

2. Occupation-Specific Streams/Targeted Streams: PNPs have streams dedicated to specific occupations or industries that are in demand in that particular province. These streams are designed to fulfil local labor market needs.

3. Express Entry And Non-Express Entry Streams: Many PNPs are aligned with the federal Express Entry system allowing individuals to receive additional points for a provincial nomination which significantly boosts their CRS score and increases their chances of obtaining an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency. Some PNP’s have non-Express Entry streams that operate independently.

4. Eligibility: PNPs often have more flexible eligibility criteria compared to federal immigration programs allowing individuals who may not qualify for federal programs to immigrate through provincial nomination program. Eligibility criteria vary between provinces and territories and may include factors such as work experience, education, language proficiency, and a genuine intent to reside in the nominating province.

5. Nomination Process: The application process for a PNP involves various steps which includes submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI) or application to the province or territory. Successful nominees receive a provincial nomination certificate which they can use to apply for permanent residence with IRCC.

6. Residency Obligations: Individuals are required to live and work in the nominating province or territory for a certain period of time as part of their commitment to the province or territory that nominated them.

PNPs provide opportunities for qualified skilled workers and other immigrants to contribute to the economic growth and development of specific provinces and territories while fulfilling their own aspirations of living and working in Canada.
