The PNP is the primary pathway for economic immigrants to enter Canada, designed to aid provinces in addressing specific labor and demographic challenges. The program helps spread the benefits of immigration across Canada. There are also Express Entry aligned streams, known as enhanced PNP nominations, which accept candidates in the federal Express Entry pool.
Eligible candidates can apply to a specific province’s enhanced PNP streams and receive a provincial nomination or Notification of Interest (NOI), granting them an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, almost guaranteeing them an Initiation to Apply (ITA) to the specific enhanced PNP stream. Recently, the fifth and sixth Express Entry draws of 2023 were exclusive to candidates in enhanced PNP streams, issuing a total of 1,366 ITAs, making it an important pathway for those seeking economic immigration to Canada.
