Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) enables provinces and territories to nominate skilled workers and professionals for permanent residency. The program helps distribute immigration benefits by allowing each region to select candidates who meet its specific economic and demographic needs.
How the PNP Works
The PNP is a partnership between federal, provincial, and territorial governments. Each province and territory sets its own streams and criteria, often targeting skilled, semi-skilled, business, and student immigrants.
- Applicants first select a province or territory and apply for nomination from that regional government.
- After receiving a provincial or territorial nomination, applicants apply for permanent residence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
- The PNP is a valuable alternative for those who may not qualify for federal immigration programs such as Express Entry.
Benefits of the PNP
- Targeted Immigration: The PNP enables provinces to address specific labor shortages and demographic needs by selecting candidates with relevant skills.
- Flexible Options: Multiple streams accommodate skilled workers, graduates, entrepreneurs, and others, offering flexibility to meet diverse provincial needs.

- Alberta
- British Columbia
- Manitoba
- New Brunswick
- Newfoundland and Labrador
