Provincial Nominees
How the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) works
This program is for workers who
Have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory.
Want to live in that province.
Want to become permanent residents of Canada.
Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements. For example, in a program stream, provinces and territories may target
Students
Businesspeople
Skilled Workers
Semi-skilled Workers
How you will apply depends on which Provincial Nominee Program stream you’re applying to. You might need to apply using the non-Express Entry process, or through the Express Entry.
As part of the process, you will have to pass a medical exam and get a police check (certificate). Everyone must have these checks, no matter where they plan to live in Canada.
Non-Express Entry process
In the non-Express Entry process:
You apply to the province or territory for nomination under a non-Express Entry stream.
You need to meet the eligibility requirements of the province that nominates you.
If you’re nominated, you apply for permanent residence online
You have to get a Medical exam and Police check (certificate)
Application processing times are longer than through the Express Entry.
Express Entry process
In the online Express Entry process, there are 2 ways to apply:
You contact the province or territory and apply for a nomination under an Express Entry stream.
If the province or territory agrees to nominate you, you create an Express Entry profile (or update your profile if you already have one) and show you have been nominated.
OR
You create an Express Entry profile and show the provinces and territories you’re interested in.
If a province or territory sends a “notification of interest” to your account, you contact them directly.
You apply to their Express Entry stream, if you’re nominated, the province or territory will send a nomination certificate to your account, and you accept it electronically.
In both cases, you must
Meet the eligibility requirements of the province or territory.
Submit an Express Entry profile and show that you meet the minimum criteria for Express Entry, including being eligible for one of the immigration programs it covers. if you are invited to apply, you submit an electronic application to IRCC.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
We are British citizens and Anterdeep helped my husband come to Canada through International Experience Class. My daughter and I joined his shortly after, I as a dependent on an Open Work Permit. She also helped us get permanent residence through the Provincial Nomination Program in Alberta.
Diiip Sivia
Thinkwise helped us getting approval for our application under childcare provider pilot program. It was a long wait for us and Anterdeep always update with our inquiries since we applied in 2019. We never heard about this type of program before and never realized that we will be accepted under this category.
Amandeep Kaur
