Provincial Nominee Program
In collaboration with provinces and territories across Canada, the Government has established immigration programs tailored for students, business professionals, semi-skilled workers, and skilled workers, each with unique requirements and streams.
The Provincial Nominee Program operates through nominations, allowing provinces or territories to select individuals who meet specific criteria. This program is designed for individuals with skills, education, and work experience that can contribute to the economic growth of a particular province or territory. Applicants express their intention to reside in the chosen province and aspire to become permanent residents of Canada. Most programs require a job offer from particular province.
Each participating province or territory in the Provincial Nominee Program aligns with a specific stream under the federal Express Entry program. Some PNP programs are independent and are not linked to Express Entry.
Most provinces and territories are currently involved in the Provincial Nominee Program. Eligibility criteria include undergoing a medical examination and providing a police check certificate. Additionally, commitment to residing in the selected province or territory is assessed.
