Canada, renowned for its inclusivity and diverse landscapes, continues to attract individuals from around the globe seeking new opportunities and a high quality of life. The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) stands as a testament to Canada’s commitment to regional development and tailored immigration solutions.

What is a Provincial Nominee Program – PNP?

The PNP is a collection of immigration programs established by individual provinces and territories in Canada. This decentralized approach allows regions to address their specific economic, demographic, and labor market needs, fostering a more targeted and responsive immigration system. Candidates interested in the PNP typically start by expressing their interest in a specific province or territory. This can be done through the province’s PNP system or, in the case of Express Entry, within the Express Entry profile. If the province expresses interest in the candidate, they may receive a Provincial Nomination, a significant advantage in the overall immigration process.

With a Provincial Nomination in hand, candidates can apply for permanent residence. The nomination is a crucial factor that increases the likelihood of a successful permanent residence application. The popularity of the PNP is on the rise as they are considered one of the fastest means of achieving Permanent Residence in Canada.

Who Can Apply?

These PNP are designed for the workers who can fulfill the following conditions.

  • A worker who can contribute to the economy of a specific province as he/she possesses the skill, education and the experience needed to do so.
  • A worker who wishes to live in the province and
  • A worker who wants to be the permanent resident of Canada.

It is interesting to note that each province and territory has its own programs to target certain groups called “streams”. For instance: provinces and territories may target the stream of:

  • Students
  • Skilled workers
  • Business people
  • Semi-skilled workers

Understanding the Application process:

  1. Research and Choose a PNP:

Begin by researching the various PNPs offered by Canadian provinces and territories. Consider factors such as the economy, job market, and lifestyle to find the region that aligns with your goals.

  1. Check Eligibility Criteria:

Each PNP has its own set of eligibility criteria. Assess your qualifications, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors against the specific requirements of the chosen PNP.

  1. Express Entry or Non-Express Entry Streams:

Determine whether the PNP is linked to the federal Express Entry system or operates through a separate stream. Express Entry-linked streams often provide additional points for nomination.

  1. Create an Express Entry Profile (If Applicable):

If the PNP is linked to Express Entry, create a profile in the Express Entry system. Indicate your interest in the specific province or territory, and ensure your profile is accurate and up-to-date.

  1. Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) or Application:

Depending on the PNP, you may need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) or a formal application to the province or territory. Follow the specific instructions provided by the immigration authorities.

  1. Provide Required Documentation:

Prepare and submit all required documents to support your application. This may include educational certificates, work experience letters, language test results, and other relevant documentation.

  1. Receive a Provincial Nomination:

If your application is successful, you will receive a Provincial Nomination Certificate from the province or territory. This nomination is a significant step in the immigration process.

  1. Apply for Permanent Residence:

With the Provincial Nomination Certificate, apply for permanent residence to the federal government. Submit your application through the Express Entry system or a specific immigration stream, following the guidelines provided.

There are two ways to apply for Express Entry process:

  • You contact the province or territory and apply for nomination under the Express Entry stream
  • If you receive a nomination then create an Express Entry profile to show your nomination

OR

  • Create an Express Entry profile and show that you are interested in the province or territory
  • If you receive a “notification of interest” to your account from the province or territory, you need to directly contact them
  • You apply to their Express Entry stream:
  • If nominated, the offer will be made by province on your online account and you can render your acceptance electronically
  • In both cases, you are required to comply with the following:
  • Meet the eligibility requirements of the province/territory
  • Submit Express Entry profile showing that you meet the minimum criteria
  • If you receive an Invitation to Apply, submit an electronic application to IRCC

Application under the non-Express Entry process:

  • You apply to the province or territory directly.
  • You need to meet the eligibility requirements of the province that nominates you.
  • If you’re nominated, you apply for permanent residence online
  • You have to get a medical exam and police check (certificate)
  • Application processing times are longer than through Express Entry.

Choosing a Province or Territory:

It is crucial to contact the province by following the instructions on their website to receive a nomination from a province or a territory. The following are the names of the various Provincial Nominee Programs.

  • Alberta Immigration Nominee Program (AINP)
  • British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
  • Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)
  • New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)
  • Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)

  • Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)
  • Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)

Had a nice experience with the CanOz team. Applied for PR with them. My case was different as I lost my passport while the application was in process. Had to explain to IRCC and request for PNP point transfer and all. The team did the necessary things to make sure my application would not get rejected. Harsimrat ma'm really understood my situation and were supportive throughout the process. Thank you team!

We were well informed about the paper work that would be needed and other documentation formalities that were supposed to get fulfilled. There were absolutely no surprises and we steadily moved from one step to the next. Infact most of our questions and apprehensions were fairly preempted and there was no scope of any ambiguity! Delightful and totally relaxed was our experience! Thank you again!

I highly recommend CanOz Visa Services because they are really helpful and they are doing excellent job. I got my PR this year and the entire process was completed in just 6-7 months. The process was so smooth just because of them, especially Harsimrat who provided invaluable support. Her guidance is really appreciated. I am really happy and fully satisfied with their services. If anyone is planning to immigrate to Canada or Australia, I strongly suggest reaching out to them from the very beginning. They truly provide world-class services. Thank you Harsimrat for all the efforts. I am really grateful. :)

Could not have asked for a better experience working with CanOz! Bakhash was there to answer questions every step of the way and made the whole process of getting our Australian PR so seamless. We couldn’t recommend him or this company more. If you are thinking of immigrating to Australia, this is absolutely the company you need to work with! Thank you Bakhash, for making our dreams come true!

My Australian PR application took about 5 years to reach an outcome. It was a bit of a complicated case and I might have lost hope had Baksh not been my migration agent. By the time I got introduced to Baksh I had already tried a couple of popular agents and got frustrated by the lack of transparency they demonstrated. Baksh was the polar opposite to those money grabbers. He was always clear with his suggestions, had excellent knowledge of the system and his advice helped navigate through complexities with so much ease. The payments were always discussed and was clarified too. An absolute gem of a professional. By the time I received 2 invites in 2022, I trusted Baksh's recommendation and opted to go for 189 albeit being more complicated than a 491. I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend Baksh and Canoz enough.
