Table of Content
Canada is one of the most sought-after places to immigrate to. One of the main reasons for its popularity is its immigrant-friendly policies and time-efficient skill-oriented pathways. Express Entry is the fastest way to apply for a permanent residence visa but the provincial nomination program (PNP) is the way to immigrate directly to the province directly of your choice.
PNP is the pathway to get a permanent residence visa for those immigrants who have low scores in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) applying through express entry can get it via provincial nomination. Provincial nomination depends on the eligibility criteria set up by provinces and each one of them has different criteria of their own.
Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) is designed to help provinces to select skilled and capable immigrants to settle and work in the province. Choosing skilled immigrants helps the province to develop its economy. All of the provinces have one common criterion that all of them follow the recommendations of the National Occupations Classifications (NOC). Also, PNPs provide a much simpler and easier Canada PR visa process.
Candidates who have applied for a permanent residence visa know having a full-time job offer is always a good thing. Job Offer from an eligible employer from the province gives extra points in the express profile. But there is another PNP program that offers nominations without job offers.
PNP’s that offers a pathway to Canadian permanent residency without asking for job offers are as follows:
- Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program(SINP)
- Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program(OINP)
- Nova Scotia Nominee Program(NSNP)
- Quebec Skilled Worker Program(QSWP)
- Alberta PNP Program
