The provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba have released invitations to apply for their provincial nominee programs (PNPs).

With the exception of Quebec and Nunavut, most Canadian provinces and territories have their own PNPs. Through these programs, interested candidates can apply for a provincial nomination. Receiving a provincial nomination has many advantages in regard to getting permanent resident status.

Quebec is one of the only provinces in the world that has the right to control all immigrants, regardless of their economic class, through its immigration programs. The Quebec immigration program is separate from Canada’s.

It was established in 1998, and since then, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) has accounted for 105,000 PR admissions annually. Since then, the number of PNP admissions has steadily increased. In both the federal and provincial governments, it is considered an effective tool for the promotion of economic growth outside of urban areas.
