Everything about Canada Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

Canadian PNPs are among essential pathways to Canada PR. PNPs allow all the provinces or territories to nominate individuals who wish to move to a particular territory or province.

Being a core part of Canada’s immigration system, PNPs are designed to welcome skilled foreign nationals who can contribute to Canada's economy significantly and are most likely to settle down in a province permanently.
