The Canadian Provincial Nominee (PNP) program was initiated at the beginning of the late 1990s. Over the years, it has become a leading way to select immigrants for the Canadian provincial areas. The process promotes qualified, skilled workers to settle in the different provinces of the country and provides a standard lifestyle for employees and their dependents. Applicants are required to move to the applied province or region based. PNP focuses on increasing the number of skilled workers in the provincial areas and creates job opportunities, which open a new door of opportunity for willing individuals.

Types of Processes you can apply for:

The provincial Nominee program assists people who want to become a part of the Canadian economy.

Based on your skill, talent, and efficiency, you can apply between the two processes, such as:

Express Entry Process

The express entry process is considered the fastest approach to settling in Canadian provinces and obtaining permanent residency. The process allows the immigration authority of Canada to discover individuals with potential. If you are a skilled worker who has worked full-time for one year in the last 10 years, you can apply for this process. Your ability to speak, write, and read also plays a significant role in the selection process. The processing time for express entry is about six months.

Non-Express Entry Process

Individuals who do not have enough experience to apply for the express entry process can still apply for the Canadian immigration program and immigrate to Canada. The non-express entry process is applicable to students, business persons, semi-skilled workers, and others. You are required to meet the eligibility criteria for your application to be successful. Non-express entry can take one to two years to process.
