The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a path to Canadian Permanent Residency. The Canadian federal government has entered into arrangements with Canadian Provinces and Territories that allows the provinces to select their own immigrants and have the flexibility to address their own unique economic needs. The PNP for each province varies depending on the specific priorities determined by the province.
Approved applicants will be issued a Provincial Nominee Certificate. The applicant then applies for Permanent Residence relying on that Provincial Nominee Certificate. Some of the PNP programs are paper based applications and some of these programs are linked to the federal Express Entry (EE) system.
