Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program: Key 2018 Changes.
Three new Express Entry-linked PNP streams were created in 2018 and others were improved.
Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program continued to assert itself as the rising star of Canada’s economic immigration programs in 2018 and is expected to play an even more prominent role in the months ahead.
The Provincial Nominee Program, or PNP, allows participating Canadian provinces and territories to nominate a set number of economic immigrants for permanent residence each year.
A portion of these nominations are considered ‘enhanced’ nominations and allow a province or territory to nominate candidates in the federal Express Entry system, which manages the pool of candidates for three of Canada’s federal economic immigration programs.
An Express Entry candidate nominated by a Canadian province or territory receives an additional 600 points toward their ranking score, effectively guaranteeing an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
Provincial nominations are also issued outside the Express Entry system through numerous PNP streams across Canada. These are known as base nominations.
