Four Canadian provinces nominated candidates in the PNP draw. The latest Provincial Nominee Program draw comprised British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Prince Edward Island. PNP candidates receive nominations only if they can contribute to the Canadian economy. In addition, they will gain nominations if they integrate well into the local workforce. Acquiring a PNP nomination implies that a candidate strengthens their application when they apply to IRCC for PR in Canada.
Provinces in Canada send nominations to candidates because immigration is a mutual responsibility of both IRCC and provincial governments. The federal immigration levels plan annually determines a total target for candidates who gain Canadian permanent residence through the PNP. IRCC further bifurcates this target figure into distribution nominations for every Canadian province.
