What is PNP and How Can I Apply?

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a Canadian immigration program that allows provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and settle in a specific province. Each province and territory has its own unique PNP streams that target specific groups of people, such as skilled workers, students, or business people.

To apply for a PNP, you must first decide which province or territory you wish to live in and then apply directly to that province’s PNP. If you receive a provincial nomination, you can then apply for permanent residence through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
