Canada Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence — 600 additional CRS points through the enhanced Express Entry streams.
Check your eligibility before you pay any fee
Every Canadian province and territory except Quebec and Nunavut runs a Provincial Nominee Program. Each sets its own streams to attract skilled workers, international graduates, tradespeople and entrepreneurs who fit its labour market — the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program, BC PNP, the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program, the Manitoba PNP and the programmes of the Atlantic provinces among them.
Enhanced streams are aligned with Express Entry: a nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score, which all but guarantees an invitation in the next draw. Base streams run outside Express Entry; after the provincial nomination you apply to IRCC directly, and processing takes longer.
Provinces adjust their streams and allocations every year, so timing and targeting matter. We track the draws and open streams for your occupation.

Canada PNP FAQs
An enhanced (Express Entry–aligned) nomination adds 600 points, which in practice leads to an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
Not always. Some streams select from the Express Entry pool on occupation and experience alone; others require a job offer from an employer in the province.
No. Quebec runs its own selection system, which leads to a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) before the federal permanent-residence application.
