4 Provinces Issued Invitations for Provincial Immigration

4 provinces issued invitations for provincial immigration which namely are Alberta, Quebec, British Columbia, and Manitoba.

A lot of economic immigration permanent residents of Canada arrive here through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Over 117,500 new PNP permanent residents are to be targeted by the Canadian government to arrive in Canada each year by 2025 as per the immigration levels plan 2023-2025.

Rather than having the majority of immigrants settle in a few of Canada’s urban centers, as was seen before the establishment of the Provincial Nominee Program in 1998, the economic benefits of immigration throughout the country can be spread with the help of PNP.

Provincial Immigration Results April 22-28

Alberta

Under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), Alberta published three separate draw results this week, all candidates were also in the pool of Express Entry.

On April 20, the first draw took place with a minimum score ranging from 300-500, which targeted 152 candidates with a primary occupation in demand and family connection in Alberta. On April 24, 124 candidates were invited in a draw targeting the priority sector – construction occupation with an Alberta job offer. 301 was the lowest CRS score.
