Canada’s five provinces conducted PNP draw and released this week’s PNP results. Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta issued ITAs to qualified applicants in this draw.
The patterns of immigration in Canada vary from province to province. A unique arrangement with the federal government allows Quebec to choose all its economic immigrants. Despite the fact that the majority of Canadian provinces and territories have Provincial Nomination Programs (PNPs).
As part of provincial immigration plans, provinces are able to focus their efforts on economic immigration applicants who are most likely to contribute to the growth and development of the labor force in the province. The PNPs often offer separate streams for agribusiness, health care, and information technology entrepreneurs.
PNP results between June 30-July 7
Ontario
A nomination process for Express Entry Human Capital Priorities was opened for 748 PNP candidates on July 6, according to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). Applicants needed a CRS score between 479 and 485 to be eligible for the technical positions.
Each province is allowed to put forth a certain number of candidates, determined by the IRCC. Moreover, PNP candidates in Ontario in 2023 will be able to choose from 16,500 candidates, which is the highest number in the country. Furthermore, in 2022, the province received 9500 dollars, almost twice as much.
