If you’re looking to settle in a specific province in Canada, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) might be your pathway. Each province has its own PNP, and they often have distinct streams based on labor market needs.

How PNP Works

• Express Entry-aligned PNPs: These are programs linked to Express Entry. Being nominated by a province gives you an extra 600 points toward your CRS score.
• Non-Express Entry PNPs: These PNPs work separately from Express Entry, offering applicants an opportunity to apply directly for permanent residency.

Common PNP Concerns

• “How do I apply for PNP if I don’t have a job offer?”
• “Can I apply to multiple provinces at once?”
• “How do I know if I qualify for a specific PNP stream?”

How the Process Works

1. Check Provincial Requirements: Each province has its own requirements. Your consultant will help determine the best province for you.
2. Apply for Provincial Nomination: Submit your application for nomination through the chosen PNP stream.
3. Receive Nomination: If successful, you’ll receive a nomination, which boosts your Express Entry profile (if applicable) or allows you to apply for PR directly.
