The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a Canadian immigration initiative that allows provinces and territories to nominate individuals for permanent residency based on local labor market needs. Each province has its own criteria and streams, targeting specific skills, work experience, or education levels to fill job shortages. Through the PNP, nominated candidates can apply for permanent residency through the federal government. This program helps provinces attract skilled workers and their families, contributing to local economies and communities. The PNP is an essential pathway for those looking to settle in a specific province, such as British Columbia or Ontario.
