- PNPs/Provincial Nomination Programs
PNP programs enable Canadian areas and provinces to suggest people who want to migrate to Canada. These prospects are also willing to reside in a specific area/province. Every PNP program comes with 1 or more immigration classes that are in line with the Federal CIC Express Entry immigration procedure.
All provinces have their own special PNP assigned with the exclusion of Quebec and Nunavut areas. According to the Canadian Legislation, Quebec Immigration can choose and accept its own candidates who wish to reside in the province. Note that potential immigrants have to fulfill certain Federal criteria to be accepted to Canadian borders. Go to Immigration to Quebec for additional information.
Candidates that wish to be nominated by a province or municipal area should perform all steps that appear on the site and speak to them right-away for any queries.
