Provincial Nominee Programs

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) – Settle in the Province That Needs You

The Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) are designed for individuals who have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory in Canada. Each province operates its own immigration streams tailored to meet local labour market needs, making PNPs a powerful pathway to permanent residence for qualified applicants.

At Duggal Immigration Services, we help candidates understand the unique eligibility criteria of each province and identify the best-fit program based on their professional profile and goals. Whether you’re applying independently or through Express Entry, our guidance helps you move forward with confidence.

What is a PNP?

PNPs allow provinces and territories (except Quebec and Nunavut) to nominate candidates for permanent residence. The nomination can be based on job offers, occupation demand, work or study experience in the province, or ties to the region. A provincial nomination significantly boosts your immigration profile, especially under Express Entry.

Popular Provincial Nominee Streams

• Skilled Worker Streams: For individuals with in-demand occupations and work experience.
• International Graduate Streams: For recent graduates from post-secondary institutions in the province.
• Entrepreneur and Investor Streams: For applicants planning to invest in or start a business.
• Express Entry-aligned Streams: Allow candidates to receive additional CRS points (600) and fast-track their application.

Eligibility Criteria May Include:

• Relevant work experience in a targeted occupation
• Job offer from an eligible employer in the province (for some streams)
• Language proficiency in English or French
• Post-secondary education or trade certification
• Connection to the province through previous work, study, or family

Benefits of Applying Through PNP

• Increased chances of receiving permanent residence
• Opportunity to settle in a province with strong economic demand for your skills
• Faster processing for Express Entry-linked PNPs
• Supportive settlement programs offered by provinces
