The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

One way for people to immigrate to Canada is through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
Those who wish to permanently reside in a particular province or territory are required to submit their applications there. To be competitive for jobs in that area, you need to have the education, training, and experience that employers there are looking for.
Your suitability for the province's or territory's job market will be determined by them. They will provide you the application processing time if they think your profile is good.

There is a deadline for applying for permanent residence after your initial application is approved. You will also find out if the regular application process or the Express Entry system is better for you to move on with.
