Provincial Nominees (PNP)

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Your Gateway to Canadian Residency

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a golden opportunity for skilled professionals wanting to live and work in a specific Canadian province or territory.

Highlights:

1. Purpose: For skilled individuals who can boost the economy of a chosen province or territory.
2. Customization: Each region offers unique immigration programs targeting varied categories: students, businesspersons, skilled or semi-skilled workers.
3. Application Routes:
   • Non-Express Entry: Direct application to the province, followed by an online permanent residence application upon nomination.
   • Express Entry: Two ways: a. Secure a nomination first, then create an Express Entry profile. b. Create an Express Entry profile showing interest in provinces, then apply upon receiving a “notification of interest.”
4. Eligibility: Fulfil the province’s specific criteria and meet Express Entry’s minimum requisites if using that route.
5. Post-Invitation: If invited, submit an application to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
6. Recent Update: Since November 16, 2022, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 is the active version for PNP.

To those aspiring to make Canada home, the PNP stands as a promising pathway. Explore the best-suited PNP stream for you and embark on your Canadian dream.
