PNP/CSQ
If you choose to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, you must first apply to the province where you wish to settle and complete its nomination process. Each province selects applicants based on their language skills, education, and work experience, in accordance with the province’s economic and labour needs. Nominees are, then, able to apply for Permanent Residency via the Immigration,Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) process.
Getting permanent residency through PNP can be easier and faster than through many federal streams.
