Provincial Nominee Programs

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

For skilled workers the PNP is one of the fastest ways to immigrate to Canada. The particularity of the PNP is that you must choose the province you want to live in. In other words you must first apply to the province where you wish to settle and then complete its provincial nomination process. Nearly every province and territory operates the PNP to welcome skilled workers from all over the world.

So typically this program is for workers who:

have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory
want to live in that province, and
want to become permanent residents of Canada

Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements. For example, in a program stream, provinces and territories may target:

students
business people
skilled workers
semi-skilled workers
