The Canadian Provincial Nominee Programs offer a valuable pathway to Canadian PR. The PNP permits territories and provinces in Canada to nominate persons. These must be inclined to migrate to Canada and settle in a specific province.
Each territory and Province in Canada has its own exclusive PNP. The exception is Quebec and Nunavut. Each PNP has at least one immigration stream linked to the federal Express Entry immigration selection system.
Nominations from provinces offered under these streams, linked with Express Entry, are also known as enhanced nominations. These incur an extra 600 CRS/ Comprehensive Ranking System points in the Express Entry. It effectively ensures an ITA for the Canada PR Visa in the subsequent Express Entry draws.
The Canada Provincial Nominee Program was created to attract skilled international talent to provinces in Canada facing talent shortages. Thousands of successful applicants have relocated and permanently settled in Canada through the PNP program. Some of the best Canadian provinces to apply to under this program are:
If you are a skilled professional with experience in technology, finance, education, marketing or healthcare, now is the perfect time to explore your options through the PNP program.
You can apply under the PNP option to migrate to Canada if you want to live in a province, contribute to its economy and wish to become a permanent resident of Canada
The first step is to apply to the province or territory for nomination under the non-Express Entry stream. If you meet the eligibility requirements and qualify through the individual in-demand Occupation Lists of some provinces, you will get a nomination from the province if your occupation is on the list. You can then apply for a Canada PR Visa.
You will now have to submit a paper application for your PR visa. The processing time is usually longer than through the Express Entry system.
There are 2 ways to apply:
You can apply for a nomination by contacting the province or territory and apply for a nomination under the Express Entry stream.
If you get a positive response from the province or territory to nominate you, you can create an Express Entry profile or update your profile if it already exists.
The other option is to create an Express Entry profile and indicate the provinces or territories you are interested in. If the province sends a ‘notification of interest’ you can then contact them and then apply through the Express Entry system.
You must meet the eligibility requirements to ensure a successful application. Steps in PNP application for PR visa:

Canada offers nearly 80 PNPs, each with its own eligibility requirements. The PNP program allows provinces to meet their individual immigration needs by helping them fill in-demand jobs and address labour shortages.
Most PNPs require applicants to have some connection to the province. They should have either worked earlier in that province or studied there. They should have a job offer from a provincial employer for a job visa.
A provincial nomination can help you in two ways to get your PR visa. It can add 600 CRS points to your Express Entry application and make you eligible to apply directly to IRCC for your PR visa.
