PROVINCIAL NOMINEES
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are designed to allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals for immigration to Canada based on their specific needs and labor market demands. PNPs are a valuable option for those who do not meet the criteria for federal programs like Express Entry.
Each province and territory has its own unique PNP, tailored to meet specific needs and labor market demands. Eligibility requirements for PNPs vary and may include work experience, language proficiency, education, and other factors. Some may require job offers or business plans.
The PNP is a great option for individuals who have a strong connection to a specific province or territory. With the support of CHK Immigration Services, individuals can explore different PNP options and determine which program is right for them. Our goal is to help individuals navigate the complex immigration process and successfully achieve their immigration goals in Canada.
At CHK Immigration Services, we can help you explore the different PNP options and determine which program is right for you. With our guidance and support, you can successfully navigate the complex immigration process and achieve your immigration goals in Canada.

Nominees must have skills to fill job shortages or be planning to buy or start a business in Alberta. They must also be able to provide for their families. The program is run by the governments of Alberta and Canada.
