Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Canada’s provincial nominee programs (PNPs) offer a pathway to Canadian Permanent Residence for individuals who are interested in immigrating to a specific Canadian province or territory. Each Canadian province and territory operates its own PNP designed to meet its specific economic and demographic needs.
All decisions regarding Canadian permanent residence must be approved at the national level by the federal government, so Canada’s provinces cannot approve permanent resident status on their own. This is why the provincial programs are considered “nominee” programs.
The English requirements are not as high as Express Entry’s and PNP is not a point-based program.

FAQ
1.What work experience proof is required for Express Entry?
To provide proof for each period of work experience on your Express Entry profile, you must secure a reference letter from each of your employers from the past 10 years
2.What happens if I receive an Invitation to Apply?
If you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA), you must submit an application for permanent residence within 60 days. If you miss the deadline or decline, your ITA will disappear, and you may not receive another invitation.
3.How to obtain police certificate?
You can get it from the police station of the household registration issue office. 户籍所在地派出所可以开（无犯罪记录证明）
4.How to obtain a medical certificate?
To obtain a medical report, you must see an IRCC panel physician.
5.What’s better: PNP or Express Entry?
If you do not have enough CRS points to be invited in a federal draw, a PNP may be an option to increase your chances.
Most PNPs require an applicant to have an Express Entry profile. Since an Express Entry profile is free to submit, you don’t stand to lose anything by creating one.
If you are selected in a federal Express Entry draw without a PNP, this is a better option as it will bypass the need for additional province processing time.
The best way to determine whether a PNP or Express Entry is better for you is to complete the free online immigration assessment.
6.What is an Express Entry draw?
Approximately every two weeks, Canada issues a round of invitations to candidates with a profile in the Express Entry pool that meet a specified CRS cut-off. Candidates that receive an invitation in an Express Entry draw may apply for Canadian permanent residence status.
7.When are Express Entry draws?
Every 2 weeks, usually on a Wednesday
8.How many PNPs are there in Canada?
Each of Canada’s province and territories, except Quebec and Nunavut, operate its own PNP program with several streams. Altogether, there are more than 80 different provincial nominee programs.
9.How are PNP points calculated?
Since each province set their own eligibility requirements, they use different points systems to determine who can apply or receive an invitation. Points are typically based on a combination of age, work experience, education, language, and connections to the province. Not all nominee programs use a points system to rank their candidates.
10.Can I apply for permanent residence without investment or any program?
Getting a job offer from a Canada employer and after working for around 1 year, there is possibility to apply for permanent residence.
11.Can I set up an investment company?
We believe that foreign nationals can set up an investment company. However, the capital markets in Canada are regulated, and therefore companies in the industry have to comply with the rules set by The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and the respective provincial regulatory body under the CSA. Also, usually foreign nationals will need a Canadian/permanent resident or a law firm to help register a company.
