Home / Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
Your route to Canadian permanent residency, nominated by the province or territory where you want to settle.
PNP
Provincial Nominee Programs let Canadian provinces and territories nominate people who want to immigrate and settle in a specific province. They offer a faster route to permanent residency for skilled workers, entrepreneurs and graduates whose skills or qualifications match a province’s needs.
Each province and territory sets its own criteria and streams to meet local labor market needs. A provincial nomination can also earn significant points under Express Entry, improving the chance of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
STREAMS
Provinces nominate individuals based on their own criteria, and each PNP has multiple streams for specific immigration categories.
People with work experience in high-demand occupations.
Graduates of Canadian post-secondary institutions with job offers or relevant skills.
