Individual Canadian provinces and territories are given discretion over immigration applications through Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). The Provincial Nominee Programs in Canada are unique to each province and territory (except for Nunavut). To ensure the development of their economies, the provinces and territories involved have signed an agreement with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to make their own immigration decisions.
Almost all PNP’s have established at least one immigration stream connected with the federal Express Entry system after it went into effect in 2015. If a candidate’s nomination falls under one of the Express Entry aligned streams, the federal government will process it in less than six months (an “Express” processing period) rather than the lengthier times required for the other non-aligned streams.
There are primarily three motivations for applicants to explore Provincial Nominee Programs for Permanent Residence:
· They are in the Express Entry pool but don’t have enough CRS points to be invited to apply (ITA).
· They are eligible for one of the province’s nomination streams since they are already in the province (having finished studies or temporarily working), which will earn them 600 points and guarantee them an ITA.
· They have received a job offer from a business in the province
