Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and are interested in settling in a particular province. These programs are a vital pathway to permanent residency, often targeting skilled workers, international students, and entrepreneurs who can contribute to the province's economy.

While each province has its own criteria, receiving a provincial nomination is a powerful accelerator for your Express Entry application.
A provincial nomination awards an additional 600 points to your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
This substantial boost significantly increases your ranking within the Express Entry pool, making it highly probable that you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in an upcoming draw. It transforms a competitive process into a near-certain pathway to Canada.
Canada's skilled worker immigration operates primarily through two distinct yet often interconnected systems: the federal Express Entry, a points-based system managing three main economic programs with a typical six-month processing goal, and the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which allows individual provinces to select immigrants based on their unique local needs.

Provinces and territories can nominate candidates from the Express Entry pool through their Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), giving applicants a major boost in their chances.
Yes. Most immigration programs designed to attract skilled workers let you include your family in your application for permanent residency in Canada. This includes your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children. Additionally, Canada has separate programs where citizens and permanent residents can sponsor certain close relatives for immigration.
While there's no age limit to apply for economic immigration programs, your age will affect your score. These programs award points based on various factors like education, language skills, work experience, and even having a job lined up in Canada. People between 25 and 35 get the highest score for age, but don't worry! If you're outside this range, you can make up for it with strong points in other categories.
If you're an international student wanting to study in Canada, you'll need a study permit. To get one, you must first be accepted by a school approved by the Canadian government (called a designated learning institution). You'll also need to show you have enough money to cover your schooling, living costs, and even the ticket back home.
