Provincial Nominee Program

The PNP is a Canadian immigration program that allows individual provinces and territories to select and nominate people who want to immigrate to Canada and have the skills, education, and work experience needed to contribute to their local economy.

What makes the PNP unique is that each province and territory runs its own streams and selection process, meaning you may find an option that’s a great fit for your specific background and goals.
