Canadian provinces regularly nominate candidates for immigration under their various provincial nominee streams. Provincial Nominee Program Canada (PNP) issued approximately 5,000 invitations to apply for provincial nomination in March this year.

Why Provincial Nomination Program to migrate to Canada?
This program is an option for candidates who do not get qualifies in Express Entry System. The PNP gives extra 600 points for candidates who get qualified in the two-tier application process. The Provincial Nomination Program has two categories:
