Why the PNP Draw Matters
The Provincial Nominee Program plays a vital role in Canada’s immigration system, allowing provinces and territories to select candidates who meet their unique labour market and economic needs. Candidates nominated through PNP receive an additional 600 CRS points, significantly boosting their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
This targeted draw highlights how provinces are leveraging Express Entry to fill regional skill gaps, ensuring that newcomers bring the expertise needed to support economic growth and strengthen local communities.
