Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Get Nominated by a Canadian Province for Permanent Residency

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate eligible immigrants for Permanent Residency based on their skills, work experience, education, and ability to contribute to the local economy.

If a province selects you, you receive a Provincial Nomination — which can significantly increase your chances of getting Canadian PR.

At Kayan Immigration Services Inc., we assess your profile and guide you toward the right PNP stream for your background and goals.

Why Do Provinces Nominate Applicants?

Each province has its own labour market needs.
PNP helps provinces bring workers, graduates, entrepreneurs, and skilled professionals who plan to live and work in that province.

Express Entry–Linked PNP Streams

Some PNP streams are connected to Express Entry.
If you receive a Provincial Nomination, you may get up to 600 additional CRS points, almost guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for PR.
