Federal Skilled WorkersSettle in CanadaDecember 26, 2022by Prominent Overseas Career3Provincial Nominee Programs in Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan issue invitations.

This week, candidates in British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan were invited to apply through their Provincial Nomination Programs (PNPs).

Although provincial nomination is not equivalent with permanent residency, it can serve as the initial step toward obtaining permanent residence from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

With the exception of Quebec and Nunavut, the majority of Canadian provinces and territories manage their own Provincial Nomination Programs. Interested persons may be asked to seek for a provincial nomination through these initiatives. Quebec’s immigration policies are controlled by the province and are different from those of Canada.

The PNP is responsible for 105,000 PR admissions each year. It started in 1998, and the annual number of PNP admissions has continuously expanded since then. Both the federal and provincial governments see it as a useful instrument for promoting economic growth outside of metropolitan areas.
