Provincial Nomination - PNP

All of the applications that we agree to process for the PNP are assessed by an experienced Canadian immigration lawyer.

The Canadian Federal Government is responsible for issuing visas. However, the Provincial Governments also have immigration programs. They are called Provincial Nominee Programs (“PNP”). Application under one of these programs may offer certain advantages.

The PNP programs vary from province to province. Applicants who want to immigrate to Canada may apply under one of the PNP programs. The applicant must intend to reside in the specific province they apply under. If accepted, the Provincial Government issues a PNP Certificate. The Federal Government has the authority to then issue the actual visa.

General Requirements

The requirements under this program are complicated. Great care and diligence must be applied in launching an application to enter Canada under the PNP program. A qualified lawyer will review each applicant’s skills and qualifications in assessing whether the applicant fits within the PNP classes.
