Provincial Nominee Programs

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) are immigration programs designed by Canada's provinces and territories to attract skilled workers and entrepreneurs to their regions. These programs allow Canadian provinces and territories to select immigrants who have the necessary skills and experience to meet the local labour market needs and contribute to the economic growth of the region.

Eligibility Criteria:

The eligibility criteria for the PNP vary depending on the specific program and the province or territory in which an applicant is interested. Generally, applicants must have the following:

  • A valid job offer from a Canadian employer located in the province or territory that is nominating them, or
  • Experience working in a skilled occupation in that province or territory, and meet other requirements such as language proficiency, education, and work experience.
