Provincial Nominee Program

Each province and territory in Canada have its own Provincial Nomination Program (PNP). It enables the province to nominate or select the candidates that will accomplish and contribute to the economy of that province. The provinces have their own set of rules, guidelines, and procedures to select skilled immigrants and helps in settling in the province.

PNP’s are similar to the Skilled Immigration Program. The applicant is selected based on a point system that is meant to target specific individuals. Points are calculated on precise criteria like education, professional work experience, age and more.
