PNP Results of 4 Provinces Released

Canadian provinces Quebec, BC, Ontario, and Manitoba released the results of the PNP draw held from March 21-25.

The province of Quebec last week released the results of its draw while British Columbia, Ontario, and Manitoba held their PNP draws.

There are various ways of immigration to Canada but the PNP draw offers immigrants to track their program.

Quebec’s immigration system does not reside under the PNP.

A valid profile has to be submitted to the expression of interest by the immigrant candidates if they are willing to enter Canada through PNP. Candidates matching the eligibility criteria are then further sent for evaluation by provincial officers.

The province of Quebec has established Arrima as the name for the expression of interest. It is done through a separate EOI system which the Express Entry system undertakes.

Immigrants with qualifying marks get the opportunity to apply for Canadian PR. Applying through PNP rewards the candidates with an extra score of 600 CRS points. This helps in upgrading the total score and thus giving the candidate the opportunity for Canadian PR.

Below are the results mentioned of the latest held PNP draw and information regarding the Arrima draw of Quebec.
