Express Entry vs. PNP Evaluator

Evaluate your background profile to determine the optimal pathway to Canadian Permanent Residency.

PNP 600-Point Boost: The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) operates in two ways. **Enhanced streams** align with the federal Express Entry system; securing a nomination here automatically adds **600 points** to your CRS score, guaranteeing an invitation. **Base streams** are managed directly by provinces outside Express Entry and process visas separately.
