Provincial Nominee Program
Overview
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a pathway to Canadian permanent residence that allows provinces and territories to nominate individuals who meet their specific labor market needs. The PNP is designed to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and investors to different regions across Canada, contributing to the local economy.
