Provincial Nominee Program

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to select and nominate individuals for permanent residence based on their skills and ability to contribute to the local economy. Applicants typically need to meet specific regional labor market needs and demonstrate intent to live and work in that province. Once nominated, they apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency. This program helps provinces attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and graduates to support regional development and address local employment shortages.
