The PNP allows provinces and territories in Canada to nominate individuals for permanent residence based on their ability to contribute to the local economy and their intention to live in that province or territory. Each province and territory have specific immigration streams targeting different groups such as skilled workers, students, business people, and semi-skilled workers.

All provinces and territories have their own unique Provincial Nominee Programs. Provincial and territorial governments have been using these PNP Investment, skill worker programs effectively and efficiently to invite applicant to apply to live in their province under verity of provincial nomination programs. All province and territory have their own PNP program, and the candidates applying to these programs must have a genuine intention to live in the province or territory they are applying for.
After applicant is nominated by a province or territory, he or she will be issued a nomination certificate that they should submitted with their application to Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for their Canadian permanent resident visa.
