All thirteen Canadian provinces and territories have their immigration programs, known as Canada PNP (Provincial Nominee Programs). Since each province has a different economy, their immigration needs are also unique, and the programs are accordingly designed to fit provincial economic and demographic requirements.
A PNP is for workers who have the right skills, education and work experience to significantly contribute to a provincial economy. Each Canadian province, except Quebec, have different PNP streams that are designed to meet the immigration goals of particular province. Each PNP stream has unique requirements that target a specific group of students, business people, skilled workers and semi-skilled workers. Thus, PNPs are a popular option as they provide a fast and easy pathway to Canada’s permanent residence.
The final decision regarding PR approval is taken at the national level by the federal government of Canada, so any province is not entitled to approve PR status on their behalf. For this reason, a provincial program is considered a “nominee” program.
The province nominates any successful immigration candidate under a PNP to submit a final application for Canadian permanent residence to the IRCC under the federal government. This demonstrates that obtaining a provincial nomination always take you a step ahead.
As a PR applicant who is approved and nominated by a province, you may apply to the federal level with brighter chances of PR approval.
Application options
The process of applying for nomination majorly depends on which PNP stream you are applying to. You may need to apply through a paper-based process, or follow an online process via Express Entry.
However, no matter which process you choose, you must pass a medical examination and submit a police clearance certificate as a mandatory requirement of the process.
About Paper-based process
In order to apply for a provincial nomination through a paper based process, you must:
Please note that the overall application processing time is longer than Express Entry and would take approximately 12-18 months.
About Express Entry process
To apply online via the Express Entry process, you get two options to apply:
First option:
Second Option:
Please note, under both the options, you must submit an Express Entry profile, meet the eligibility criteria of both Express Entry and province or territory and submit an electronic PR application to IRCC upon getting an invitation to apply (ITA).
Before applying a suitable PNP, find out the current active PNPs using an online PNP tracker. To discover your Canadian immigration options, talk to our team of advisors on Toll-Free No. 78-18-000-777.

Canada PNP: Each Canadian Province and territory operate their own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) with unique selection requirements and processing protocols. They can nominate applicants through the Federal Express Entry pool under specific Express Entry aligned PNP streams.
Many provinces and territories have their ‘enhanced’ PNP streams aligned with the Federal Express Entry system, which offers the fastest Canadian immigration pathways. The role of such streams is to attract eligible Express Entry candidates to move to a particular province by meeting both Express Entry and PNP selection requirements.
To remain in the federal Express Entry pool of candidates as a PNP candidate, you must:
Provincial Nominations via Express Entry
There are 2 different processes via which provinces nominate candidates in Express Entry:
In this case, provinces look for eligible candidates with a valid Express Entry profile in the pool using factors like language skills, level of education, skilled work experience, any provincial connection, etc.
But, to get selected, candidates must select either one, many, or all jurisdictions while identifying the province in which they are interested. Only then will the provincial program portal allow the provinces to view the candidates’ profiles who have indicated an expression of interest in their particular jurisdiction.
If a province finds a candidate eligible, it will issue a system-generated NOI in a candidate’s online account, advising that the provinces are considering them for nomination.
If a candidate is interested in nomination, they can contact the province directly, i.e. outside the Express Entry setting. However, the candidate must submit an Express Entry profile number and a valid Job Seeker validation code to PNP so that the province can nominate them.
The nomination will be sent to candidates through their online Express Entry accounts, and IRCC will be notified about it. From this point, candidates get total 30 days to either accept or reject the provincial nomination.
Upon accepting the nomination, candidates get 600 additional points towards their overall CRS points. They will eventually get invited to apply Canada PR at the upcoming Express Entry draw with such high points.
In the second scenario, the province identifies an eligible candidate who feels is suitable for their Express Entry aligned PNP stream but is not a part of the Federal Express Entry pool. In this case, the province nominates that candidate and accordingly instruct them to submit their Express Entry profile.
The nominated candidates create an online Express Entry profile indicating their provincial nomination. If a candidate meets the minimum eligibility criteria of any one of the three Express Entry programs and enters the Express Entry pool gets an Express Entry profile number and a Job Seeker validation code.
The IRCC then informs the candidate about the confirmation of their nomination, after which an invitation to apply is issued in the upcoming Express Entry draw.
If the nomination is not confirmed, the candidate will remain in the pool as a non-PNP applicant. Also, the profile will be visible to other PNPs for consideration under Express Entry aligned PNP streams.
Please note, under both scenarios, the first step is to create an Express Entry profile and enter the pool of candidates.
If you are interested in migrating to Canada as a provincial nominee, use a live PNP tracker to find out the recent active PNPs. You can also find your eligibility by filling out a free profile assessment form.

Understanding Provincial Nominee Programs
Under each PNP, provinces operate different PNP streams and invite eligible applicants to apply for provincial nomination upon meeting eligibility criteria.

This clearly means that obtaining a provincial nomination is a step taken towards permanent residency.

When it comes to Canada immigration, most of the applicants think of the federal express entry system.
Even though, other pathways are also there that offer the permanent residency in Canada to the skilled workers. Applying in a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is one of such crucial pathways to move to and get PR in Canada.
A provincial nominee program of any Canadian province is an immigration program that operates in coordination with the federal government.
Every Canadian Province in Canada, i.e. Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, etc. has a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) through which it selects skilled and talented individuals to offer permanent residency in the province. Though, the Quebec province in Canada doesn’t have a PNP; rather, it has its separate immigration program called Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP).
The candidates interested in moving to any particular province, apply in its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Most of the PNPs have a point based system of immigration, which allocates the points to the candidates based on their age, education, language skills, work experience, etc. factors. The candidates, who are able to achieve the qualifying marks decided by the PNP, become eligible to receive the nomination certificate from the province. The provincial nomination certificate in turn makes the candidate eligible to apply to IRCC for permanent residency in Canada.
Here are the key streams of Provincial Nominee Programs under which an applicant can apply for immigration:
This stream operates in coordination with the federal express entry system of Canada. Under EE stream, candidates need to register in the express entry system and then get selected in the express entry pool of candidates. The provinces enrolled in express have the access to express entry pool. The provinces can view the candidates in the EE Pool and subsequently send the notification to the selected candidates to apply in their respective PNPs. If a candidate is able to get the provincial nomination, he/she gets the 600 additional CRS points in express entry, which usually ensures the ITA (invitation to apply) of that candidate for PR Visa from IRCC.
This stream has been designed for the foreign skilled workers. The candidates interested in this stream need to apply in the PNP and follow the PNP process to get selected for nomination certificate.
Both Express entry Stream and Skilled Worker stream are common in all the Provincial Nominee Programs. However, other streams are also active in most of the PNPs but not with all of them.
Other key streams of Provincial Nominee Programs are:
