The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is designed to allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who want to immigrate to Canada and settle in a specific province. It’s an excellent pathway for applicants who may not meet federal Express Entry requirements but have the skills and experience needed in a particular region.
Each province and territory runs its own PNP streams, tailored to meet local labour market needs. Some PNPs are aligned with Express Entry (called “enhanced” streams), while others are “base” streams managed independently.
Popular provincial programs include:
Once nominated, candidates can apply for permanent residency either through the federal Express Entry system or via a direct PR application.
