PNP turns out to be one of the popular options for skilled workers to immigrate to Canada.
One way for skilled workers to move to Canada and get permanent resident status is the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The program’s goal is to accept qualified workers to boost the economy of the provinces and territories and disperse the advantages of immigration across Canada. It has been a successful strategy for luring skilled workers to provinces like the prairies and the Atlantic provinces, which previously had low immigration numbers.
What is a Provincial Nominee Program?
It is a Canadian immigration program that is designed especially for skilled workers who have the skills, education, and work experience. PNP allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate people who wish to immigrate to Canada and who are interested in settling in a particular province.
There are more than 80 provincial immigration programs for workers, graduates, and businesspeople. Each program is created to address the demands of the province’s labor force. Except for Nunavut and Quebec, all provinces are included in this program.
In PNP there are two ways to get permanent residents: the “base” programs and the “enhanced” programs.
The “base” programs
This is the first option where the candidates can directly apply to the PNP stream. Following that, the province will make sure the application satisfies all requirements for that stream. If all requirements are satisfied, the province will give a letter of nomination to the applicant, who may subsequently apply for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.
The “enhanced” programs
This is the second option where the programs are coordinated with the federal Express Entry management system. Here the applicants can be eligible for Express Entry managed programs like Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP) and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and can increase the chance of getting an Invitation to Apply (ITA) by a provincial nomination.
The provincial government decides whether a candidate will be a suitable fit for the province by looking at the information provided in their online Express Entry profile. If this is the case, the province will send the candidate an interest notification, inviting the candidate to apply for provincial nomination.
The candidate can then apply to the province. Immediately, they will receive 600 points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and receive a letter of nomination if they meet the requirements, which considerably improves their chance of obtaining permanent residency.
