Understanding the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is an important immigration stream for those who wish to live in Canada. The PNP program allows provinces and territories to nominate individuals who want to live in a specific area. Each province and territory offers its own PNP streams, designed for different groups such as skilled workers, students, and entrepreneurs.

To get started with a PNP application, choose the province or territory where you’d like to settle and apply directly to their PNP. Once you receive a nomination from that province, you can then apply for permanent residency through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
