1828 Candidates Were Invited By 4 Provinces This Week
1828 candidates were invited by 4 provinces this week in the most recently published Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw results.
The most prominent economic immigration pathway to Canada is Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). 117,500 new permanent residents will be welcomed by Canada through the PNP each year by the end of 2025, according to the Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has the final say on who becomes a permanent resident but PNP still exists because immigration is a shared responsibility between the federal and provincial governments.
With the help of PNPs, the provinces are also able to target gaps in the provincial labour force by selecting the newcomers they feel have the best chance to establish themselves financially in a province. The PNP is seen as a beneficial tool to strengthen the economy of Canada by both Federal and Provincial Governments, this is Why Provincial Nomination Programs Exist.
The number of candidates a province can nominate changes each year. 105,000 is the overall target of PNP candidates for 2023. Among the 11 provinces and territories that have PNP programs, the number of spots is divided later on. 16,500 nominations have been allocated to Ontario in 2023. Newfoundland and Labrador have been allocated 3,050 nominations which is double the nominations it had in 2022.
