What's happened PNP?
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to specifically recruit foreign nationals to meet local labour market needs. This may include recruiting people with specific skills or filling vacancies.
How it works? PNP?
Provincial or territorial stage:
Submit your application to your chosen province or territory. If you meet all the requirements and your application is approved, you will receive a nomination certificate confirming that your PR application is supported
Federal stage:
Once you have received your nomination certificate, you must submit a final application for permanent residence to the federal government (IRCC), undergo a medical examination, and provide a criminal record certificate. IRCC will assess your ability to economically establish yourself in Canada, verify the validity of your nomination, and ensure that you meet federal requirements.
Serving options PNP applications
Through the Express Entry (EE) system:
Many provinces and territories have categories linked to Express Entry. If you receive a nomination through one of these programs, you will be given 600 points added to your CRS score, which virtually guarantees you an invitation to permanent residence.
Applying directly to a province or territory:
In some cases, the PNP allows candidates to apply directly to a province without going through Express Entry. These programs are available to those who do not qualify for federal programs.

Why worth considering PNP?
PNP offers several benefits:
- Customized pathways for those with in-demand skills in specific provinces.
- Opportunities for people without a college degree working in skilled trades, as well as those who have a low Express Entry age score or are ineligible for federal programs.
- The option to apply directly to the provinces or take advantage of the faster process through Express Entry
Next steps:
- If you're interested in the PNP, start by choosing the provinces or territories you want to live and work in. Review their immigration categories and consider the Express Entry process.
Almost all Canadian provinces and territories have their own PNP systems. However, Nova Terra Immigration does not work with the provinces of Quebec and Saskatchewan, as they require a separate license.
