Explore tailored immigration opportunities through Canada's Provincial Nominee Programs. Each province and territory has unique streams designed to meet their specific economic and demographic needs.
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and who are interested in settling in a particular province or territory.
Each province and territory (except Quebec and Nunavut) has its own unique PNP designed to meet its specific economic and demographic needs. These programs target specific groups such as students, business people, skilled workers, or semi-skilled workers.
A provincial nomination can add 600 points to your Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, virtually guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
