The Canada Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is designed to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and investors to Canada by allowing provinces and territories to nominate eligible individuals for PR. A nomination from a province gives applicants a major advantage in securing permanent residence.
What is the Canada PNP Program?
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a Canadian immigration pathway that allows individuals to settle in a specific province or territory. Each province has its own PNP streams designed to meet regional economic and demographic needs.
Key Requirements:
- Apply to the province/territory where you wish to settle.
- Possess the skills, experience, and education required for jobs in that region.
- Obtain a provincial nomination, which accelerates the PR application process.
Once nominated by a province, you can apply for PR either through the Express Entry-linked PNP streams or the regular PNP application process.

PNP Pathways: Paper-Based vs. Express Entry
- Paper-Based Application:
- Apply directly to a province or territory under its non-Express Entry stream.
- Once nominated, submit a paper-based PR application.
- Processing times are typically longer than Express Entry.
- Express Entry-Linked PNP:
- Two ways to apply:
- Apply directly to a province for a nomination under its Express Entry-aligned PNP stream.
- Enter the Express Entry pool and indicate your interest in specific provinces. If a province selects your profile, you receive a Notification of Interest (NOI).
- A PNP nomination adds 600 CRS points, significantly increasing your chances of getting an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for PR.
