Why the PNP Draw Matters
The Provincial Nominee Program remains a cornerstone of Canada’s immigration system, enabling provinces and territories to select skilled workers who best meet their local labour market needs. A provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points to a candidate’s profile, significantly increasing their chances of receiving an ITA for permanent residence.
This draw highlights Canada’s continued effort to strengthen regional economies by prioritizing skilled professionals who can fill critical labour shortages and support long-term community growth across the country.

The PNP not only supports regional development but also ensures newcomers settle successfully in areas where their skills are most needed.
Congratulations to the 777 candidates who received invitations, a major milestone on their journey toward permanent residence in Canada!
