PNP Provincial Nominations Canada

Canada’s provincial nominee programs (PNPs) are working in full swing to retain the efficiency of Canadian immigration.

Alberta:

The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) issued invitations to 191 Express Entry candidates on May 13, who will now be able to submit their applications for provincial nomination. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score was 300 for candidates to get a Notification of Interest (NOI) from the province.

Since coronavirus is still a pertinent threat to public health risk, it is still affecting immigration applications. Alberta is only considering provincial candidates who live and work in the province at the moment. The province is also making the document submission process for PNP candidates more flexible.

Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia organized a Provincial Nominee Program draw on May 22 that invited registered nurses to submit their applications for provincial nomination via the Labour Market Priorities Stream.

British Columbia

British Columbia distributed 632 new invitations between May 7 and 26.  Two draws were hosted under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)’s Tech Pilot that is meant to boost the province’s tech sector. The tech draw selected 225 candidates last month from the subcategories of Skilled Worker and International Graduate They needed a minimum provincial score of 80. The rest of the draws invited international graduates and skilled, entry-level and semi-skilled workers through the Express Entry BC and Skills Immigration streams.
