Canadian Permanent Residency
The PNP allows Canadian provinces to nominate skilled workers, graduates, and entrepreneurs for permanent residence based on local labour needs. It’s a faster, targeted pathway to immigrate and settle in a specific province.
PNP programs are another option to immigrate to Canada, especially if you do not have enough points to be selected under Express Entry, or are not eligible for any other federal immigration category. Most provinces have skilled worker, international graduate and investor programs.
Provinces with PNP programs each have their own selection criteria to find immigrants with skills that the province needs which they cannot hire locally. The selection criteria and occupations vary across provinces, from information technology, medicine, agriculture, trades, business, investors, and people who have ties to Canada.
