Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Your Pathway to Canadian Permanent Residency
At Earth Overseas Immigration & Visa Services, we help skilled professionals and qualified workers apply through Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) — one of the fastest and most reliable routes to Canadian Permanent Residence (PR).
Our experienced RCIC consultants in Brampton, Ontario provide expert guidance through every stage of your PNP application, ensuring a smooth and successful process.
What Is the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)?
The Provincial Nominee Program allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who have the skills, education, and work experience needed to contribute to their local economies.
Each province operates its own unique program, with streams tailored to specific labour market needs and immigration priorities.
Many PNP streams are also connected to the Express Entry system, providing eligible applicants with additional opportunities to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
Benefits of the Provincial Nominee Program
1. Higher Chances of PR Selection
A provincial nomination grants you up to 600 additional points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). This significantly boosts your chances of receiving an ITA for Canadian PR through Express Entry.
2. Tailored to Each Province
Each province or territory identifies the skills and professions in demand locally. PNPs are designed to match candidates who can make meaningful contributions to the province’s economy and community.
3. Streamlined Pathway to PR
Once you receive a provincial nomination, your PR application is prioritized, resulting in faster processing times compared to other immigration streams.
All Canadian provinces and territories (except Nunavut) operate Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Each PNP is designed to address the specific economic and demographic needs of that region. Here’s a brief overview of each:
1. Ontario (OINP): Ontario’s PNP is one of the largest and most diverse, offering streams for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates. It’s highly competitive.

2. Quebec: Quebec has a unique immigration system and doesn’t participate in the federal PNP in the same way as other provinces. They have their own streams for skilled workers, businesspeople, and investors. It’s important to understand Quebec’s distinct immigration process.

These programs allow provinces to nominate candidates who meet their specific criteria for permanent residence.
