Why Provincial Nominee Program for Canada Immigration?
Since its launch in 1998, the Provincial Nominee Programs have become the second main route to permanent residence in Canada.
The unique arrangement between the federal and provincial/territorial governments in Canada, except in Quebec & Nunavut, allows the nomination of foreign candidates separately based on the unique labor demand of each province.
By 2024, more than 93,000 immigrants per year are expected to be admitted as permanent residents through various Provincial Nominee Programs. |
However, in the present scenario, Canada is expected to favor more intakes for permanent residency with prior provincial nominations as top Express Entry programs like Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) have only recently resumed after a gap of nearly 18 months.
Candidates under FSWP usually have no Canadian work experience, job offer, or academic exposure in Canada. They directly qualify for PR based on their work experience, and language proficiency or academic proficiency.
On the other hand, candidates with an active Express Entry and a provincial nomination give an additional 600 points towards their overall CRS score. This would effectively guarantee them an ITA for Canada PR in a subsequent Express Entry draw.
