Two Canadian provinces issue invitations in new PNP draws. Candidates were invited based on professional experience, education, and employment-related factors.
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) was first launched in 1998 to help spread the benefits of immigration throughout Canada. As of now, all provinces, except Quebec & Nunavut, have PNPs.
Note: Quebec does not operate a PNP because it has an agreement with the federal government that allows it to maintain authority over its economic immigration.
