All the above 3 provinces held their PNP draw in the previous week.
Eligible candidates who wish to settle in a specific province have to choose the stream of provincial nominations to immigrate. Almost all the Canadian provinces except the province of Nunavut and Quebec conduct their separate provincial nominee program.
The stream of provincial nominations is not exactly Canadian permanent resident but it considerably increases the probability of receiving a Canadian permanent resident.
For example- Any PNP applicant with a legit Express Entry profile is grateful to get rewarded with additional 600 CRS points.
Provincial Nominee Program was introduced in 1998 and only 400 immigrants were invited that year. The program became so successful that now it regularly invites over eighty thousand immigrants every year.
The prominent reason for the great success of this program was that the federal and provincial governments of Canada specifically supported this program. As they believed that this program was assisting in the development of the country’s economy.
The Express Entry has been focusing on PNP since last year as IRCC helps in the economic development of the Canadian provinces. The Express Entry draws are regularly conducted once every 14 days. The last Express Entry draw was conducted on April 13 and the next Express Entry draw will be conducted on April 27.
The IRCC proclaimed that the applications of CEC, FSTP, and FSWP will be open from the start of July, this year.
