Understanding the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are set to be a major route to Canadian permanent residency (PR) in 2024. With Canada aiming to welcome a high number of immigrants, PNPs are expected to play a significant role. These programs offer flexible criteria compared to the federal Express Entry system and are designed to meet the specific needs of each province or territory. This makes PNPs particularly attractive for candidates who may have lower Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores or who face language hurdles.
