According to the most recent Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw results, candidates have been invited by four of Canada’s provinces.
PNPs are seen by the federal as well as provincial governments as a helpful mechanism for distributing the economic advantages of immigration to areas of the nation outside of large metropolitan hubs. The federal and provincial governments share responsibility for immigration in Canada. PNPs allow provincial governments to issue nominations to persons they believe have the best chance of integrating and establishing themselves economically in the province. The process of becoming a permanent resident becomes comparatively easy if the applicant has received provincial nomination.
A candidate’s chance of becoming a permanent resident is not assured only because they are nominated by a province. To Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), they must still submit separate applications.
