PNP Programs

Canada’s provincial nominee programs (PNPs) offer a pathway to Canadian permanent residence for individuals who are interested in immigrating to a specific Canadian province or territory. 

Each Canadian province and territory operate its own provincial nominee programs that are designed to meet its specific economic and demographic needs. These programs all have their own individual streams, criteria, and nomination processes. Successful nominees are eligible to apply for permanent residence.

Provinces and territories nominate foreign nationals who possess the skills and qualifications needed to contribute to their local economies.
