Provincial Nominee Program

Introduction

PNP (Provincial Nominee Program) has been enforced for someone who wants to immigrate to Canada or a specific province. In order to apply for PNP, applicants must meet several requirements. The most important thing is applicants must receive a full-time permanent employment. Besides, PNP includes low-skilled occupations which are impossible to apply for Federal Skilled Worker.
