Every province, with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut, operates several streams within its PNP. These streams are designed to meet distinct immigration objectives, leading to varied eligibility criteria and application procedures.

PNPs are popular as they offer a more direct route to permanent residency in Canada. However, decisions regarding permanent residency must be approved at the national level by the federal government, meaning provinces cannot independently grant permanent resident status. Therefore, provincial programs are referred to as “nomination programs.” A candidate selected by a PNP will receive a nomination from the province to apply for permanent residency with the federal government. Consequently, immigrating to Canada through a PNP involves a two-step process: first, provincial approval, followed by a federal application.

1. Identify the PNP that suits your needs and review the requirements of each program to determine your eligibility.
2. Submit an application directly to the chosen province or territory.
3. Obtain a provincial nomination certificate: If your application is successful, the province or territory will nominate you to apply for permanent residency in Canada.
4. Submit an application for permanent residency to the federal government. If your PNP is aligned with Express Entry, you may do so online; otherwise, you will need to submit a paper application.
