Express Entry

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a Canadian immigration program that allows provinces and territories to nominate individuals for permanent residence based on their specific economic needs and labor market demands. Each province and territory, except Quebec and Nunavut, operates its own PNP with unique streams targeting various categories of applicants such as skilled workers, semi-skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates. Applicants who receive a provincial nomination gain additional points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) in the Express Entry system, significantly enhancing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency. The PNP aims to distribute the benefits of immigration across Canada, ensuring that regional economic requirements are met and encouraging the settlement of immigrants in areas that might otherwise be overlooked. This program is crucial for addressing local labor shortages and supporting regional economic growth.

Provincial Nominee Program with Express Entry Program

Applicants who receive a provincial nomination are awarded an additional 600 points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), significantly boosting their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency during Express Entry draws. This synergy between PNP and Express Entry ensures a faster and more efficient process for skilled workers to obtain permanent residency, while also helping to address specific labor shortages and promote economic development in various regions across Canada. By leveraging both programs, Canada can attract and retain talent that aligns with the unique economic demands of its diverse provinces and territories.
