This November, Canadian provinces continued inviting hopeful immigrants to go to the next round of the immigration process.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Provincial Nominee Program<\/a>\u00a0(PNP), which began modestly in 1998 with the admission of approximately 200 people to Canada, will now see the intake of over 80,000 new permanent residents every year. At least 3,744 immigration candidates received invitations through a provincial immigration program this past month.<\/p>\n

The PNP allows participating Canadian provinces and territories to select a set number of economic immigrants each year and nominate them for permanent residence.<\/p>\n

There are currently more than 80 PNP streams in 11 provinces and territories, and each stream is designed to target immigrants who meet the specific labour market and economic needs of those regions.<\/p>\n

In most participating provinces and territories, there is now at least one PNP stream that is aligned with the federal Express Entry system, which is Canada\u2019s primary source of economic immigration.<\/p>\n

Express Entry-linked PNP streams, also referred to as \u2018Enhanced\u2019 PNPs, allow a province to select Express Entry candidates and invite them to apply for a provincial nomination. These streams allow provinces to nominate candidates in the federal Express Entry system, which manages the pool of candidates for three of Canada\u2019s main economic immigration categories\u2014the\u00a0Federal Skilled Worker Class<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Federal Skilled Trades Class<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0Canadian Experience Class<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n

Express Entry candidates who are nominated by a province or territory are awarded an additional 600 points toward their Comprehensive Ranking System score.<\/p>\n

PNP streams that operate outside of Express Entry referred to as \u2018Base\u2019 PNPs, can also nominate candidates, who then pursue permanent residence outside of the Express Entry system.<\/p>\n
