How Provincial Nominee Program Works?

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows provinces/ territories to choose and nominate candidates so they can settle in a particular province or territory. Candidates are chosen based on various criteria, such as their work experience, skills, training, and ability to contribute to the local economy. 

When it comes to knowing how PNP works, then we must understand that each province and territory has its own rules and regulations for the program. Moreover, these rules and regulations will change over time and adjust according to the labour market needs. 

Why Choose PNP?

Provincial Nominee Program offers an easy and simplified way to immigrate to Canada. Other advantages of choosing a PNP are:-

  1. If you choose a particular PNP, you have the opportunity to choose which province you would immigrate to.  
  1. Once you receive an invitation from a PNP draw, which are quite regularly held, your CRS score boosts up. You get an extra 600 points, and this score also helps in getting Canada PR easily. 
  1. PNP draws do not require a higher CRS score, and hence those with a lower score can also receive an ITA. 
  1. The application processing time is much faster. And if your PNP application is processed sooner, it is likely that your overall immigration process will also be done sooner. 
  1. Those looking for a specific stream tailored to their qualifications may find PNPs easier to qualify. The thing about PNP is that most of them are designed in a way to call for targeted immigrants from specific streams. 
  1. After receiving a nomination from a province, a candidate may also get support from the provincial government so they could integrate themselves into the community in a better way.
