Provincial Nominee Program
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a program designed to help Canadian provinces and territories select individuals who are interested in immigrating to Canada and who are willing to settle in a particular province or territory. Each province and territory has its own unique PNP with specific criteria and requirements.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for a provincial nomination, you must meet the criteria of the specific PNP to which you are applying. In general, you must:
- Have a valid job offer from an employer in the province or territory (in some cases, a job offer may not be required)
- Meet the language requirements for the province or territory
- Have the required education and/or work experience in a field that is in demand in the province or territory
- Be able to demonstrate that you have enough funds to support yourself and your family members while you are in Canada
PNP Categories
Each province and territory has its own unique PNP with specific categories under which you can apply. Some of the most common categories include:
- Skilled Worker Category: For individuals with the required education, work experience, and language proficiency in a field that is in demand in the province or territory
- Business Immigration Category: For individuals who are willing to start or invest in a business in the province or territory
