HOW PNP WORKS

Two Routes to Canadian PR Through a Province

Faster

Enhanced PNP - Through Express Entry

Province nominates you → IRCC adds +600 CRS to your Express Entry profile → you receive an ITA in the next draw → federal PR in ~6 months.

Flow

Province → +600 CRS → ITA → PR in ~6 months

  • ✓ Requires active Express Entry profile (FSW or CEC)
  • ✓ +600 CRS = near-guaranteed ITA
  • ✓ Fastest PR route - ~6 months federal processing
  • ✓ Available: OINP HCP, BC EE, AAIP EE, SINP EE, MPNP EE
Flexible

Base PNP - Direct Federal Application

Province nominates you → you apply directly to IRCC → PR decision in ~18 months. No Express Entry profile needed.

Flow

Province → IRCC Direct → PR in ~18 months

  • ✓ No Express Entry profile required
  • ✓ Useful for lower CRS or non-EE occupations
  • ✓ Some streams only available as Base PNP
  • ✓ Longer but still a valid PR pathway

LOW CRS SCORE

PNP When Your CRS Is Too Low for Express Entry

Federal Express Entry draws often cut off at 480-500+. PNP is designed for skilled applicants who are competitive provincially but not federally - CRS scores as low as 300 have received PNP nominations.

Alberta - Opportunity Stream

AAIP's largest stream. Currently drawing with EOI minimum scores of 57 (out of ~100). For workers already in Alberta on a work permit. 28,000+ in the pool - apply early.

Alberta

Saskatchewan - Capped & Other Sectors

Workers in capped sectors (hospitality, trucking, retail) can apply during 6 intake windows/year. Some draws at very accessible score thresholds.

Saskatchewan

Atlantic Provinces - AIP

Atlantic Immigration Program is employer-driven - your CRS score doesn't matter. If an Atlantic employer supports you, you can get nominated regardless of Express Entry ranking.

THE PROCESS

How to Get a Provincial Nomination - Step by Step

1

Profile & Province Assessment

We analyze your NOC, education, language scores, CRS, work experience, and any Canada ties. We identify top 2-3 provincial matches and rank them by probability of invitation.

2

Build or Optimize Express Entry Profile

For enhanced PNP, you need an active Express Entry profile. We creates your profile, selects the best NOC, and maximizes your CRS before province submission.

3

Provincial EOI or Registration

BC uses SIRS registration. Ontario uses Express Entry pool + NOI. Alberta uses EOI portal. Each province has a different system - We submits to the right one and monitors draws.

4

Nomination Application - Meet the Deadline

Once invited by the province (ITA or NOI), you typically have 30-45 days to submit your full nomination application. We prepare every document, form, and letter - nothing missed, nothing late.

5

Federal PR Application

After provincial nomination: Enhanced PNP → +600 CRS → ITA → PR in ~6 months. Base PNP → apply directly to IRCC → PR in ~18 months. We manages both.

Frequently Asked Questions

2026 PNP facts - use the tabs to explore by topic

What is the Provincial Nominee Program?
The PNP allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals for permanent residence based on their own labour market needs. Unlike Express Entry (which is purely federal), PNP lets provinces identify the workers they need. In 2026, Canada has 91,500 PNP spaces - a 66% increase from 55,000 in 2025. There are 10 provinces with PNP programs and 80+ active streams. A provincial nomination means a province has vouched for you as someone who will contribute to their economy and community.
How long does PNP take from nomination to PR?
It depends on whether your stream is Enhanced (Express Entry-aligned) or Base. Enhanced PNP: once nominated, you receive +600 CRS points, get an ITA at the next Express Entry draw, and federal PR takes approximately 6 months. Base PNP: you apply directly to IRCC and PR typically takes 18 months or more. We advises on the fastest route for your situation.
Can I apply to multiple provinces at once?
Yes. There is no restriction on holding active registrations or EOIs in multiple provincial systems simultaneously. Many We clients have active profiles in 2-3 provinces at once. We manage all submissions and advise when an invitation arrives which to pursue based on your goals.
