Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Most Canadian provinces and territories can nominate immigrants through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). These immigrants must have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of that province or territory. One of the standard requirements is that applicants must intend to settle in the province that nominates them.

Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and criteria for their PNP. For example, in a program stream, provinces and territories may target students, business people, skilled workers or semi-skilled workers. Each province and territory’s streams, eligibility requirements and nomination guidelines for their PNP can change without notice. So, contact us for the most up-to-date information.

Since January 2015, many provinces and territories have launched new Express Entry streams.
• To qualify, you must apply to the province or territory where you wish to settle and complete its nomination process (Note: Each province or territory has its own requirements and application process).
• If your application is accepted by the province or territory, you must apply separately to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residence. A CIC officer will then assess your application based on Canadian immigration regulations.
