Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)
As the second largest country in the world, Canada consists of 10 provinces and 3 territories. The Canadian Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) are integral to immigration law, allowing provinces and territories to nominate candidates who meet specific regional labour market needs. Stringent eligibility criteria are aligned with local demands, ensuring the economic and social interests of each region and nominated individuals gain a pathway to permanent residency.
These provincial programs are mainly divided into three major categories of skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates. In each category, the specific needs of the province or territory in different areas, such as economy, culture, population, environment, labour market, and so on, are targeted to select the nominees.
This program reflects Canada's commitment to decentralized immigration policies, tailoring pathways to accommodate diverse provincial priorities while adhering to federal immigration law.
