Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are critical element of the Canadian immigration system.
PNPs are a vital component of Canada’s immigration strategy, allowing individual provinces and territories to select and nominate eligible immigrants to meet their specific economic and labor market needs. Each Canadian province and territory manages its own provincial nominee program to address the specific needs of its region.
There are dozens of PNP immigration streams available across Canada, including streams for skilled and non-skilled workers, business investors, entrepreneurs, Canadian and international graduates, and other unique categories.
Provincial Nominee Worker Streams
Canada Immigration’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) worker streams offer occupation-specific, skilled, and non-skilled workers opportunities to gain permanent residency in specific provinces or territories. Each province or territory has its own PNP, tailored to address regional labour market needs. Most provincial nominee programs have Express entry-aligned streams. Provinces may also have streams to designed to address labor shortages in industries that require semi-skilled or low-skilled workers.
Provinces may also have occupation-specific streams to prioritize candidates with skills and experience in high-demand occupations, such as healthcare, technology, and trades.
