After Express Entry, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is the second most popular pathway for qualified workers to immigrate to Canada. Almost every province and territory administer the PNP in order to attract qualified professionals from all over the world and bolster their economies. The federal govt and each state and territory share responsibility for managing Canada’s immigration system under the terms of the Canadian Constitution. As such, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) enables Canadian provinces and territories to nominate persons seeking to immigrate to Canada and settle in a certain province. Foreign workers, foreign students, and others with the required abilities, experience, and education submit nomination applications to the PNP.

The PNP identifies and nominates individuals for permanent residence who possess the skills and expertise that the Ontario economy requires, and the Government of Canada makes the final determination regarding permanent residence applications
