Canadian Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) allow provinces and territories to nominate individuals for permanent residence based on their specific economic needs. Each province has criteria and streams targeting students, business people, skilled workers, and semi-skilled workers. By tailoring immigration to local labour market requirements, PNPs help address regional skill shortages and support economic growth. Applicants must meet specific eligibility requirements and intend to live in the nominating province. The PNPs provide a valuable pathway to permanent residence for those who want to contribute to a particular region in Canada.
