Provincial Nominee Programs

Immigrate Quickly And Easily With Canada's Provincial Nominee Programs


PNPs are agreements between individual provinces and the federal Canadian government that expedite the permanent resident process for certain candidates. Those candidates fall into the general streams of skilled workers to fill labour shortages, businesspeople (entrepreneurs and investors) to create jobs, close family members and students. PNPs are attractive because they offer shorter processing times than the federal and Quebec Immigration programs. Also, once nominated by a PNP (and before the Federal portion of the application), the applicant is entitled to a Work Permit with a letter of support from the province while the spouse may be entitled to an open Work Permit.
