What is Canada Provincial Nominee Program?

Each Canadian province aims to improve its local economy and drive it towards growth. In order to do so, the province requires qualified and accomplished executives who can meet its demands of capable candidates who will work for the overall development and progress of the province.

Such Canadian provinces are in search of candidates who not only meet their skill set demands but are also willing to settle in the province for their entire duration of stay in Canada. All these provinces have their own unique pre-requisites and their own Point Calculators that can help an individual to evaluate his Eligibility for Immigration to a Particular Province.

The Canadian provinces via their PNP programs, not only target the candidates looking for employment offers to fulfill its labour market needs but also seek students with the desired academic qualification and even entrepreneurs willing to invest in new ventures in the province itself.

Once a province shortlists a candidate, it nominates the candidate and his/her profile in the Express Entry Program and this Provincial Nomination helps the candidate to get selected in the next Express Entry draw thus speeding up their immigration process. Hence, getting selected in a PNP program is a stepping stone for a candidate’s immigration journey to Canada.

Popular Canada Provincial Nominee Program:

All Canadian provinces get into an agreement with IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) that facilitates the province to nominate a capable candidate in the Express Entry Program. Such candidates are then allowed to apply for a Canadian PR visa.

Note: Except for Quebec Province, all other Canadian provinces have their own Provincial Nominee Programs.

 

 

What is the PNP Program Application Processing Time?

To apply to a Canada Provincial Nominee Program, the candidates must create their Express Entry profiles and showcase a keen interest in emigrating to a particular Canadian province.

Choosing a PNP program and then getting a nomination certificate from that Canadian province helps the candidate to score 600 additional points in the Express Entry CRS score tally which is a massive boost and benefit to his/her selection to the Express Entry Pool of eligible candidates who then receive an ITA from IRCC.

As opposed to the traditional methods of immigration to Canada that took over 24 months to process a candidate’s application, Express Entry program is a much quicker and efficient method that processes all applications in a maximum time period of 6 months.

An important point to note is that merely being nominated by a province does not grant a candidate the permission to work in that province. The candidate must still possess a valid Canadian work permit or a legal working status from IRCC before working with any Canadian employer.

Easiest way to migrate through PNP Program?

There are some provinces that have slightly relaxed immigration rules and pre-requisites as compared to the other Canadian provinces. As you know that a valid IELTS score is a mandatory requirement for candidates who select English as their first official language for Canadian immigration, a few provinces, namely – Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan have lower IELTS score requirements that most other Canadian Provinces.

For your information, immigration process to Quebec, or to Manitoba via MPNP, or to Saskatchewan via SINP, requires a CLB score of 4 for IELTS examination which is lower than the general requirement of a CLB score of 7 for eligibility in the Express Entry Program. Thus, these are undoubtedly the three provinces with the easiest candidate eligibility requirements.

Canada Provincial Nominee Program Without a Job offer Letter:

All provinces that have their own PNP programs to meet their local labour market needs are required to follow the guidelines of NOC (National Occupations Classification). A PNP program can only nominate a candidate who has an exceptionally high skill set and is being recruited under skilled occupations as pointed out in the opposition list of NOC.

There is another constraint, there should be an extremely high demand for the candidate’s skill set in the same Canadian province that the candidate has chosen for his/her immigration to Canada. Although being nominated does not guarantee the candidate’s selection in the Express Entry program, it definitely increases his/her chances of selection by multi-fold.

There are however two provincial nominee programs that do not require the candidate to have a job offer from a Canadian employer in the province – Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program and Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Program. Other than these, the candidate may even be selected for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program without an employment offer by a Canadian employer.
