Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Assistance identifying and applying to the provincial stream that best fits your profile and goals.
Overview
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate immigrants who meet specific local labour market and economic needs. Each province operates its own streams targeting skilled workers, international graduates, entrepreneurs, and semi-skilled workers. A provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points in Express Entry, making it one of the most effective ways to secure an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence.
In British Columbia, the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) offers streams including Skills Immigration, Express Entry BC, and Entrepreneur Immigration. Eligible candidates may apply through streams such as the Skilled Worker, International Graduate, or Entry Level and Semi-Skilled categories depending on their occupation, employer support, and education level. Other provinces such as Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba also offer competitive PNP streams for workers in in-demand sectors.
