Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

The PNP program was initiated in 1998, to give Canadian provinces and Territories the authority to determine and manage their various immigration needs, in accordance with the provision of the Canadian constitution. The main purpose of the PNP is to spread the benefits of immigration across Canada. Under this program each province nominates candidates who have fulfilled certain provincial eligibility requirements. The great benefits of applying through the PNP streams is that nominees are awarded an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points if they have a profile submitted in the express entry pool.

This essentially guarantee they will receive a permanent residence invitation under Express Entry. All the provinces and territories in Canada have PNP programs except Quebec and the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
