The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) provides a pathway to Canadian permanent residence for individuals who have the skills, education, work experience, or other qualifications needed by a particular province or territory. Each participating province and territory has its own immigration streams and eligibility requirements based on local economic and labour market needs.
Choosing the right provincial program and understanding its requirements can help you prepare a more complete application. Our team provides guidance with program selection, eligibility assessment, documentation, and the nomination and permanent residence application process.
Our Provincial Nominee Program guidance begins with an assessment of your background, including your education, work experience, language ability, and other relevant factors. We help identify provincial or territorial pathways that may align with your profile and immigration goals.
Depending on the stream, a PNP application may be connected with Express Entry or processed through a non-Express Entry pathway. If you receive a provincial or territorial nomination through Express Entry, the nomination can provide 600 additional CRS points.
