What is the Provincial Nominee Program?
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a general name given to an Express Entry stream which allows provinces to nominate applicants to apply for permanent residence by invitation.
Provinces and territories may target students, business professionals, entrepreneurs, skilled and semi-skilled workers to select nominees according to their economic needs. As such, every province has a different name for their respective programs.
Foreigners from most countries are welcome to participate in the Provincial Nominee Program.
Getting Selected for Provincial Nomination
1. Select a PNP and Apply for Nomination
This is perhaps the most difficult part of the application process, as there are many programs available within each province and territory. Find the one that is more suitable to your qualifications and that is more likely to result in a successful application. Immigration Pros can provide guidance to help you select a program and apply to the PNP of your choice.
2. Obtain a Provincial Nomination Certificate
If a province or territory deems an application suitable, a candidate will be nominated and invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence through Express Entry.
3. Apply for Permanent Residence
Once a nomination has been obtained, applicants may submit their application for permanent residence through Express Entry. Depending on the province and type of program, applicants will be able to submit their application digitally online or paper-based via mail.
