Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), is also a great path to becoming a permanent resident of Canada. To be able to apply for permanent residence under PNP, the applicants must be nominated by a Canadian province or territory. This program is for workers who:

• have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory
• want to live in that province, and
• want to become permanent residents of Canada

The province will consider your application based on its immigration needs and your genuine intention to settle there.

Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements. As an example, in a program stream, provinces and territories may target:

• students
• business people
• skilled workers
• semi-skilled workers

You might need to apply using the paper-based process, or the online process through Express Entry.

Paper-based process 

In the paper-based process:

• You apply to the province or territory for nomination under a non-Express Entry stream.
• You need to meet the eligibility requirements of the province that nominates you.
• Once you have been nominated, you submit a paper application for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

Express Entry process

In the online Express Entry process, there are 2 ways to apply:

• You contact the province or territory and apply for a nomination under an Express Entry stream.

• If the province or territory agrees to nominate you, you create an Express Entry profile (or update your profile if you already have one) and show you have been nominated.

  OR

• You create an Express Entry profile and show the provinces and territories you’re interested in.
• If a province or territory sends you a “notification of interest”.

In both cases:

• You must meet the eligibility requirements of the province or territory. And,
• You must submit an Express Entry profile and show that you meet the minimum criteria for Express Entry, including being eligible for one of the immigration programs it covers.
• If you are invited to apply, you submit an electronic application to IRCC.
