Six Canadian provinces disclosed PNP immigration outcomes, and these include Manitoba, PEI, Quebec, British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta.
All Canadian provinces or territories, except for Nunavut and Quebec, might issue invitations to new immigrants under the economic class to apply for a provincial nomination. The Provincial Nominee Programs help you in doing this. A provincial nomination enhances a candidate’s Permanent Residence application when a candidate applies directly to IRCC.
Quebec operates separately and has a different agreement with the federal government. This province has complete control over the figure of economic newcomers as it might select them permanently.

In 2023, Quebec only set immigration targets for 2024 and 2025, respectively. This province also sets advanced targets for up to four years. However, under the current plan, it only takes two years to assess the French language requirement for candidates seeking permanent selection.
In addition, in 2024, the province is targeting 30,650 Skilled Workers and 31,500 candidates in 2025.
On October 26, the two latest PNP draws occurred in which 1220 candidates received invitations. The first targeted draw focused on multiple trades occupations. The lowest score was greater than 465.
The second targeted draw focused on candidates in healthcare, tech, and other priority occupations. The lowest scores were beyond 608.
In both draws, candidates had to score a CLB of 7 in French language oral proficiency or maybe higher than that.

Candidates with the lowest ranking had a Comprehensive Ranking Score of 326. On October 26, the draw issued invitations to 100 candidates who had eligibility under streams like Family Connection and Primary Occupation In Demand Stream.

Over the last twelve months, PEI issued invitations to 2,385 candidates to apply through the Prince Edward Island PNP.
The Strategic Immigration Plan and the latest Immigration Levels Plan
Every year, IRCC displays an Immigration Levels Plan to plan a target for the upcoming figure of permanent residents that will gain invitations in the next three years. The total number of targets has a classification of IRCC’s immigration programs and pathways.
On November 1, the recent immigration plan for 2024-2026 became official. It reveals that in 2024, IRCC will gain 11,000 new immigrants through the PNP and 120,000 in 2025 and 2026.
IRCC’s latest Strategic Immigration Program largely influences the plan. The program comprises three chief pillars to improve the efficiency of IRCC. As a result, new immigrants will effortlessly settle, coordinating the immigration level’s growth-based infrastructure needs and settlement services.
IRCC plans to fulfill the objectives by meeting stakeholders or provincial governments to understand local needs and potential. In addition, new immigrants would have all the relevant skills to establish themselves in the economy. Moreover, it will enhance affordability and balance the requirements of all Canadians.
