Canada boasts nearly 80 Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), each characterized by distinct eligibility criteria. These programs empower provinces to meet their unique immigration requirements by aiding in the recruitment of candidates for high-demand roles and alleviating labor shortages within their regions.
Many Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) necessitate that applicants possess a connection to the province. This connection can be established through previous employment or education within that province.
