The latest PNP outcomes were released for four Canadian provinces last week. These provinces were British Columbia, Manitoba, Alberta, and Prince Edward Island. According to the most recent PNP draw results, candidates received invitations for a provincial nomination from these provinces.
The federal and provincial governments perceive PNP as a helpful mechanism for distributing the economic advantages of immigration to areas of the country outside large urban centers. Additionally, these governments share responsibility for Canadian immigration.
The PNP allows provincial governments to nominate individuals with the best chance of integrating and establishing themselves economically in the province. Becoming a permanent resident usually gets easier once a candidate receives a PNP nomination.
However, receiving a nomination through a province doesn’t assure a candidate to obtain Canadian permanent residence. They must separately apply directly to IRCC.
The latest PNP outcomes were released – between June 10 and June 16
