What is Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)?
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who want to immigrate to Canada and settle in a specific province. This program is designed to address the unique economic needs of each region.
Program requirements and application procedures vary greatly between provinces, so interested applicants should consult each of the provinces to determine their eligibility:
The PNP application process can be confusing, and applications can be refused if they are submitted incorrectly or if they are incomplete. Applicants should take care to ensure that applications are completed correctly and submitted through the proper channel.
