With more than 70 unique PNP streams across the provinces, we can fit them into three broad categories: first-come first-served, Expression of Interest, and passive. This means that once a specific Provincial Nominee Program stream opens, applications are accepted in the order they are submitted until a quota is met.
For some streams, the quota fills up extremely quickly. Other first-come first-served streams accept applications on a continuous basis, rather than during short application intake periods.
If you are eligible, you can submit at any time. Examples include:. This is the go-to method for provinces that incorporate points systems into their Provincial Nominee Program streams.
In some ways, this category mirrors the federal Express Entry system, with potential applicants first having to put forward their candidacy by submitting an Expression of Interest form. It should be noted that these points systems are often completely separate from the Comprehensive Ranking System CRS used to rank Express Entry candidates.
A person might be competitive in Express Entry, but might not be competitive according to the points system used to rank a specific PNP stream. Minimum scores required to receive an invitation through these and other EOI-based streams fluctuate from draw to draw. There is no certain way to know what score may be required in the future, and so the best advice is to be in the relevant pool so that you may be considered for selection based on your credentials.
Some Provincial Nominee Program streams are considered passive because applicants, who are Express Entry candidates in most cases, cannot actively apply or declare their interest in being considered for a nomination through these streams. Rather, potential applicants may be contacted by the province in question and invited to apply. Applicants who are invited will receive communication from the province sent directly to their IRCC online account.
Applicants should expect a processing period for the initial application to the province, plus an additional processing period for the final application to the federal government for permanent residence. Most provinces have brought their processing times down to a few months, or even weeks. For Express Entry-linked applications, the federal processing time remains for most applications is six months.
Non-Express Entry linked applications, also called paper-based applications, usually take between years to process at the federal stage.
You can use this tool to check Provincial Nominee Program processing times at the federal level. For the initial application to the province, it is recommended that you inquire with the provincial authorities regarding the latest or projected processing times. The first thing you need to do is apply to the PNP in the province or territory where you want to settle. To qualify, you must have the skills, education and work experience you will need to settle in Canada and support yourself and your family.
The province or territory will assess if you will be able to meet their economic or labour market needs, and those of Canada. They can tell you how long it will take to process your application. After the province or territory approves your application, your next step is to apply for permanent residence within the time period they set out. The province or territory will let you know whether you must apply through the Express Entry system or through regular application process:.
