- What are the key benefits to applying to a PNP Program for Canada migration ?
How the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) works:-
- You apply to the province or territory for nomination under a non-Express Entry stream. You need to meet the eligibility requirements of the province that nominates you. Once you have been nominated, you submit a paper application for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
Understand the application options :-
- How you will apply depends on which Provincial Nominee Program stream you’re applying to. You might need to apply using the paper-based process, or by the online process through Express Entry.
- As part of the process, you will have to pass a medical exam and get a police check (certificate), also called PCC. Everyone must have these checks, no matter where they plan to live in Canada.
