Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) & Regional Immigration Streams

Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories operate Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) to address regional economic and demographic needs. Receiving a provincial nomination awards 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points in Express Entry, virtually guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. Major streams include the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), BC PNP, Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), and Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).

Key 2026 Statutory & Regulatory Checkpoints:
  • Enhanced Express Entry PNP streams (600 CRS bonus points) vs Base non-Express Entry paper/portal streams.
  • Targeted occupation in-demand draws focusing on healthcare, tech, STEM, skilled trades, and Francophone candidates.
  • Provincial post-graduate immigration streams (e.g., BC PNP International Post-Graduate Stream, OINP Masters Graduate Stream).

Frequently Asked Questions: Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

An enhanced Provincial Nomination automatically awards 600 additional points to your Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.

Under Section 6 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, permanent residents have the constitutional right to move and reside in any province. However, applicants must have a genuine intention to settle in the nominating province at the time of application.
