What is a Provincial Nominee Program?
Every province and territory in Canada participates in the Provincial Nominee Program or PNP. The provincial nominee program has several subcategories for each province and territory in Canada. The subcategories are created based on the population and manpower needs of each province.
British Columbia PNP
A thorough analysis of the labor market revealed that the only obstacle to BC’s job industry’s expansion was the lack of talent exposure. The BC PNP was first introduced at this time. Through the recruitment of immigrants from all over the world and the granting of permanent residency to them, the BC PNP assists the province in growing its population and satisfying its labor market needs.
Candidates who apply through the various PNP programs for the Canada PR Visa receive an additional 600 points on top of their CRS Score. This results in an increased chance of obtaining the ITA in the next draw.
