Ontario and two other Canadian provinces sent PNP nominations last week, including British Columbia and Manitoba. Each Canadian province and territory, excluding Nunavut and Quebec, runs its separate PNP. These programs enable provincial governments to choose economic immigration candidates who contribute significantly to the local economy and integrate effectively. The Provincial Nominee Program is one of the prominent pathways that can lead to permanent residence. The concept was generated in 1998 to promote the economic immigration advantages across Canada in place of a few urban centers like Vancouver and Toronto.
These PNPs have various streams that help welcome candidates based on their eligibility programs for international students. These also include candidates who have employment offers in the province or have gained experience in particular professions.
