Get nominated by a Canadian province or territory to fast-track your permanent residency application.
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Secure a Provincial Nomination & Fast-Track Your Canada PR
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a powerful immigration pathway that allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate skilled individuals who are ready to live, work, and settle in a specific region of Canada. Each province operates its own PNP streams, carefully designed to meet local labor market and economic demands.
Receiving a provincial nomination gives your Express Entry profile a massive boost by adding 600 CRS points, making you almost guaranteed to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA). For skilled professionals, PNP is one of the most reliable and fastest routes to Canadian permanent residency.
