How to get a Provincial Nomination for Permanent Residence in Canada.

How to get a Provincial Nomination for Permanent Residence in Canada.

Are you interested in becoming a permanent resident in Canada through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) route?

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) are very useful for applicants with a low CRS score in the Express Entry System pool, or applicants who are not eligible for Express Entry due to age, low language test scores, low years of work experience, low level of education, among other factors.

The information here covers:

• Available Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
• How PNPs can give you 600 extra CRS score in Express Entry
• Sub-categories of PNPs
• PNP requirements and application fees

Provincial Nominee Programs are largely in two broad categories:

• A nomination that is aligned with Express Entry (and will add 600 points to your Express Entry points).
• A nomination that is NOT aligned with Express Entry (you do not need an Express Entry profile for this, and can submit your application directly for permanent residence after you are nominated). This is good for those who are not eligible to set up an Express Entry profile. The only difference is the processing time which is longer than Express Entry’s average processing time.

Recent Express Entry Draws done so far in 2021 (as of August 2021) have prioritized applicants applying through the Canadian Experience Class sub-category of the program, and applicants who have received a nomination. The reason for this is not far-fetched and has been attributed to the COVID-19 situation.

If you are new here and need more information on the Express Entry program, you will see the step-by-step guide on how to become a permanent resident in Canada using the Express Entry system here

With the increasing popularity of the Express Entry program among skilled immigrants who want to move permanently to Canada, there is also a possibility that the Express Entry cut-off will be on the high side when the general draws are back.

The Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) could, therefore, be of help to applicants looking for ways to improve their scores.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) present good opportunities for candidates to earn 600 extra points if they are already in the Express Entry pool, or to immigrate through a provincial skilled immigrant program (that is not aligned to Express Entry) if they are even not eligible to set up an Express Entry profile.
