About Provincial Nominee Program
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are partnerships between the federal government and Canadian provinces/territories. Through these programs, provinces can nominate candidates who meet their specific labor market, educational, or demographic needs for permanent residence.
A provincial nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score in Express Entry aligned streams, which puts most candidates above the cut-off in IRCC's provincial nominee rounds of invitations. Even for non-Express Entry (base) streams, PNPs offer excellent pathways to permanent residence.
Express Entry aligned (enhanced) streams allow you to enter through the federal Express Entry pool with a massive 600 point CRS boost. Base streams work independently, where you apply directly to the province first, then separately apply for PR through IRCC.
Go Far Global helps you find the right PNP program across all provinces for your unique situation.
