Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) Services
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) offers an excellent pathway for individuals to immigrate to Canada by applying directly through a province or territory. Each province and territory has its own immigration programs, with specific eligibility criteria based on local economic needs and labor shortages. The federal government allocates immigration quotas to each province, allowing them to select candidates who can contribute to their economic development.
There are 13 provinces and territories in Canada, each offering multiple immigration streams to meet local demands. These streams are typically categorized into four main types:
International Student Streams
These streams are for international students who have graduated from a Canadian post-secondary institution and wish to stay and work in the province. In many cases, a job offer from a Canadian employer is required.
Express Entry Streams
For candidates who have already submitted a profile in the Express Entry system, this stream allows provinces to select candidates and nominate them for permanent residence. If nominated, candidates receive 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, ensuring an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from the federal government.
Semi-Skilled Streams
This category targets workers in semi-skilled occupations, particularly those classified under National Occupational Classification (NOC) TEER 4 or TEER 5. These streams are designed to fill labor gaps in industries that require semi-skilled workers, such as construction, manufacturing, and agriculture.
Entrepreneur and Business Streams
These streams are for individuals interested in starting or investing in a business in Canada. Applicants must meet specific financial criteria, which can include minimum net worth and investment requirements, as well as create full-time Canadian jobs.
After receiving a provincial nomination, applicants can apply for permanent residency through the federal immigration system. Whether you are a skilled worker, semi-skilled laborer, or an entrepreneur, the PNP provides flexible options for those looking to make Canada their permanent home.
