What is PNP?
The Canadian federal government allows provinces and territories to manage their own immigration programs to address specific demographic, social, and economic needs. Through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), they can nominate skilled foreign workers who meet their unique requirements.
Each province and territory sets its own selection criteria for nominating individuals. To apply for permanent residency through the PNP, you must first secure a nomination from a provincial or territorial government. This requires demonstrating the necessary skills, qualifications, and work experience to successfully settle and contribute to the chosen province.
