PNP

Canada has bilateral agreements with provinces and territories (excluding Nunavut and Quebec) which allows them to nominate individuals for permanent residence. Quebec and Nunavut have their own selection system in place. In this process, the provinces normally assess a particular nominees’ capability to contribute to economic growth, development and prosperity of their particular province. Canadian laws enable these provinces and territories to set out their own criteria for nomination as long as they are in line with IRPA, IRPR, Federal immigration policy and the federal – provincial agreements.

Nowadays, PNPs offer two different pathways. You can go through regular PNP streams or You can take the express entry stream routes, if eligible. If you are nominated by a province through an EE stream, you get 600 points in your express entry profile which guarantees you an ITA under the existing circumstances.
