The Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) was established by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to allow Canada’s different provinces and territories to select individuals who indicate an interest in settling in a particular province/territory and who will be able to contribute to that province/territories’ economic development. Most, but not all, provinces and territories of Canada participate in the Provincial Nomination Program.

Provincial Nomination Program (PNP)

The Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) allows provinces to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and who are interested in settling in a particular province. Provincial Nomination is an important fast-track option for Canadian Permanent Residency. Each Canadian province and one territory have their own unique Provincial Nomination Programs (except for Quebec, which has a different selection system). Provincial and territorial governments have been using these programs to more effectively and efficiently welcome newcomers to their region. Each PNP is tailored to the province’s/territory’s specific needs to select nominees who will be able to settle into life and work in the region and to effectively contribute to the community.

PNP’s by immigration category to decide in which province/territory you could qualify for Provincial Nomination:
