Apply for Canadian Permanent Residence with a Provincial Nomination
Provincial Nominee Programs across Canada actively seek and attract eligible foreign nationals by making the process of applying for Canadian permanent residence more accessible and easier to understand as its in their economic interests to do so.
Whether a PNP offer is issued via Express Entry or outside the selection system, a nominee is still required to submit a separate application for Permanent Resident (PR) status to IRCC.
The Northern Canada territory of Nunavut does not currently have a PNP and Quebec does not participate in the federal government’s PNP. Instead, the Governments of Quebec and Canada have entered into a series of agreements that enables the province of Quebec to establish its own selection criteria for economic immigration.
