What is the Provincial Nominee Program?

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is an immigration pathway that allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to settle in their region. Each province has its own streams targeting specific groups such as skilled workers, international graduates, entrepreneurs, and semi-skilled workers.

A provincial nomination can significantly boost your chances of obtaining permanent residence. If you receive a nomination through an Express Entry-aligned stream, you automatically receive 600 additional CRS points, virtually guaranteeing an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
