Provincial Nominee Program Guidance in Canada

The Provincial Nominee Program, commonly called PNP, allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate people who may have the skills, education, work experience, job offer, business background, or local connection needed to support their economy.

What Is the Provincial Nominee Program?

The Provincial Nominee Program, commonly called PNP, is a permanent residence pathway for people who want to live in a specific Canadian province or territory. Provinces and territories use PNP streams to select candidates who may fill labour shortages, support regional growth, bring needed skills, invest in communities, or contribute through business and entrepreneurship.

Express Entry-Linked PNP

Also called an enhanced nomination. You must usually qualify for a federal Express Entry program and meet the requirements of a province or territory’s Express Entry-aligned stream. A provincial nomination through Express Entry can support your invitation planning.

Non-Express Entry or Base PNP

This pathway is processed outside the Express Entry system. It may support employer-sponsored workers, graduates, regional candidates, entrepreneurs, or applicants who fit a provincial stream but may not qualify through Express Entry.

How the Provincial Nominee Program Works

PNP processes are not the same for every province or stream. Below are common pathways.
