How do I apply to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee?
When you are planning to Canada under Province nomination program, first thing you need to do is apply to the PNP in the province or territory where you want to move or settle. To qualify for Canada PNP, you need to have the minimum skills like age, education and work experience. So, you can settle in Canada and support yourself and your family.
The province or territory will assess your profile. If you meet their economic or labor market needs, they will send you the invitation. According to the federal government of Canada, the processing time for Canada PNP differs from state to state. After the province or territory approves your application, your next step is to apply for permanent residence within 60 days of time. It depends on the province or territory whether you have to apply through the Express Entry system or through regular application process.
How the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) works
This program is for workers who:
- have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory
- want to live in that province, and
- want to become permanent residents of Canada
Every province has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements. For example, in a program stream, provinces may target:
- students
- business people
- skilled workers
- semi-skilled workers
