Canada’s three provinces British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario, released the latest PNP draw results between 22 to 27 January. As well as issued invitations to eligible applicants through their PNP draws.
Except for Nunavut and Quebec, Canada’s every province and territory offers its own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) for candidates. Permanent residency can be obtained more easily through a PNP nomination. There is a separate immigration program for economic-class immigrants in Quebec and it operates separately from the rest of Canada.
Currently, the PNP allows for 105,000 permanent resident admissions each year. Since it began operations in 1998, the number of annual admissions has gradually climbed. In addition to promoting economic growth in urban areas, both the federal and provincial governments consider the PNP a valuable tool.
