Overview
Over the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), Canadian regions and provinces can nominate immigrants who desire to move to a specific area. This signifies that claimants who wish to get permanent residence to Canada can obtain the nomination of the area they demand to move to. This nomination supports vastly in getting you invited to apply for the Canadian permanent residence. Each Canadian region (Nunavut and Quebec excepted) have their Provincial Nominee Programs. They also have their immigration programs, named “streams”, that are intended at specific groups of individuals, like students, workforces, businesspersons, etc. Every area’s PNP has minimum one stream that’s linked with Canada’s immigration selection arrangement, the Express Entry.
