The Provincial Nominee Program is an immigration program that operates in a partnership between the federal government of Canada and individual provinces or territories. Each participating region has its own eligibility criteria and streams tailored to its specific labor market demands and economic priorities. These streams typically target skilled workers, international graduates, business owners, and semi-skilled workers, allowing them to live and work in Canada permanently.

Some provinces may prioritize candidates with a job offer in the province, while others may focus on specific occupations or target candidates with ties to the region, such as international graduates. We will explore some of the popular PNP streams and their eligibility criteria, helping you understand which one aligns best with your qualifications and aspirations.
