CANADA PNP 2023 - PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAMS FOR SKILLED WORKERS
Provincial Nominee Programs in Canada offer skilled professionals the opportunity to immigrate, settle, and contribute to the local economy in various provinces and territories. To participate in these programs, Canadian provinces and territories sign agreements with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), allowing them to select candidates based on their specific requirements.
Canada’s PNP Programs facilitate prospective immigrants to file petitions through a specific province or territory, with the province having the right to nominate individuals through the Canadian Provincial Nomination Program. Québec, however, operates its own distinct selection criteria and is an exception to these programs.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)
The influence of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has enabled many provinces and territories to establish agreements concerning skilled immigration, specifying the needs of recruiters and capital investments for each region. Consequently, several provinces have developed their own business immigration schemes to attract skilled manpower.
Each province or territory in Canada has its own unique Provincial Nomination Program tailored to meet its specific requirements, attracting business individuals, investors, and qualified workers. As an aspirant to immigrate to Canada, you need to choose a specific Canadian province to apply through its respective provincial nominee scheme.
To become a provincial nominee and acquire permanent residency in a particular Canadian province, you must apply to the province or territory where you intend to reside through their nomination process. Meeras Resource, along with its authorized representatives, can assist applicants who have a confirmed job offer from a provincial employer, guiding them through the necessary steps and submission procedures for provincial nomination.
Applicants must meet certain criteria to apply through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), including obtaining a nomination from a specific Canadian province or territory and subsequently applying to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for Permanent Resident status.
The application process for the PNP involves filing into the express entry pool, submitting an application to the qualifying province, receiving a confirmation of intent to nominate, providing required documents to the provincial agency, and ultimately receiving the provincial nomination. Afterward, applicants update their pool application, wait for an invitation, and file an online permanent residence application with CIC.
The Canada PNP program offers several benefits, including expedited processing of PR applications, no job offer requirement, streamlined pool selections, authorization to live and work in Canada, the ability to sponsor relatives, and easy attainment of Canadian citizenship after meeting residency requirements.
The choice between Express Entry and Canada PNP depends on individual circumstances. If a candidate doesn’t meet the score requirements for Express Entry, the PNP offers another opportunity for obtaining permanent residency without additional points regulations.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba are two provinces with the lowest IELTS score requirements (CLB 4) for language proficiency.
Research by IRCC and Statistics Canada shows that immigrants who come to Canada through provincial nominee programs experience better job opportunities, higher wages, and stronger labor market outcomes due to their ability to meet local labor market needs, possess high human capital, and have Canadian work experience, education, and pre-arranged employment.
Meeras Resource aims to successfully establish candidates in their chosen province in Canada. Those interested in immigrating can submit their CV to info@meerasresource.com or fill out the Free of Charge Appraisal Form. It is crucial to ensure that any employed immigration agent is certified and authorized to represent the case with the CIC and other government bureaus of Canada.
