Permanent Residency: How does the PnP program work?

The Provincial Nominee program (PnP) is a permanent residency program aimed at filling labor shortages in specific provinces in Canada. Each province releases certain NOC Occupation codes to inform the public and potential immigration candidates which type of skills they are looking for. The only province that does not use the PnP nomination process is the province of Quebec.

There are two ways to go about applying for a nomination under the PnP program.

  • Contact the province or territory directly and wait for them to nominate you. Once you get nominated, you will need to create an Express Entry profile and show IRCC that you have been nominated.
  • Create an Express Entry profile and show the provinces and territories that you would be interested in. Once a province or territory sends out a notification of interest to your profile, you may then contact them directly for your nomination.

In both cases, you must meet the minimum eligibility requirements for Express Entry, therefore, before doing anything, it would be vital to make sure you are eligible for Express Entry to begin with.

For example, the province of Manitoba has posted on their website the following:

Application processing priority is being given to the following categories of applications in our inventory:

Legal Fees

Package 1: Assessment for One Country Our legal fee to review the Applicant’s Eligibility for one country is 470.

Full payment must be made before this legal service is provided.

Please note that you if you will not be found eligible for any process in package two or package three you can be refunded. Scope of Service

The payment mentioned above is for the Eligibility Review only.

Our goal is to provide you with quality and timely legal services at a reasonable cost. Using our professional judgment, we will endeavor to assign work on your behalf to those attorneys, immigration agents and other personnel that we deem appropriate under the circumstances. Not everyone qualifies to immigrate or relocate to the US, Canada or Australia, and while we will endeavor using our expertise to bring all available options to your attention, we cannot guarantee that there will be relocation options available to you. Further, our office cannot be held accountable for any future immigration-related action taken on your behalf without our assistance. Termination
