The flow

How a PNP works.

1

Match a stream

Pick the province and stream that fit your occupation, experience, language and ties — some need a job offer.

2

Get selected

Register an Expression of Interest or secure an employer offer; the province invites and issues a nomination.

3

+600 or base

An enhanced nomination adds 600 CRS in Express Entry; a base nomination uses the paper-based PR process.

4

Apply to IRCC

Submit your permanent-residence application. IRCC makes the final decision on admissibility and PR.

A nomination = +600 CRS

Through an enhanced, Express-Entry-aligned stream, a provincial nomination adds 600 points to your Comprehensive Ranking System score — in practice, a guaranteed invitation to apply.

Answers

PNP questions.

What is a Provincial Nominee Program?
A PNP lets a province or territory nominate people who want to settle there and meet its labour-market needs. A nomination doesn’t grant PR by itself — IRCC decides — but an enhanced nomination adds 600 CRS points in Express Entry.
Which provinces have a PNP?
Every province plus Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Quebec runs its own separate selection system, and Nunavut has no nominee program.
How does a nomination connect to Express Entry?
An enhanced (Express-Entry-aligned) nomination adds 600 CRS points — effectively a guaranteed invitation. Base nominations use the province’s own paper-based PR process.
Can I choose which province to apply to?
Yes, but each program has its own streams, scoring and priorities, and many require a job offer or a genuine connection. We’ll match your profile to the strongest program.
