Canada’s provincial nominee program (PNP) allows territories and provinces in the nation to nominate people for PR. It provides a way of achieving Canadian PR for people who are keen on migrating to a territory or province in the country.

The number of invitations to apply (ITAs) for Canadian provincial nomination in September 2021 is 6,500 or so. Most Canadian provinces or territories run their own PNP. Therefore, provincial governments can choose the best candidates for their local labor market requirements and managing the settlement of immigrants in their jurisdictions. Each province in Canada has its own requirements for the eligibility of foreign workers for Canadian PR under its PNP.
