Three Provinces Nominated Candidates from June 17 to 22
Three provinces nominated candidates from June 17 to 22, namely, Ontario, New Brunswick, and British Columbia under Provincial Nominee Program.
Candidates who can economically establish themselves within the province and easily integrate into the provincial labour force are most likely to be nominated by provincial governments.
PNP draws are held by most provinces and territories to target candidates with specific occupations such as healthcare, skilled trades, and tech. By this, candidates who can fill local labour shortages can be targeted by the provinces.
The federal government will soon begin to hold Express Entry draws in upcoming category-based-selection draws through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada for specific occupations and French language abilities.
If a PNP candidate in the Express Entry pool receives a provincial nomination, additional 600 CRS points are automatically received by them. Chances that they will receive an invitation to apply will be far more likely after receiving an enhanced Provincial Nominee Program nomination.
Economic immigration candidates may still apply for provincial nomination if they are not already in an Express Entry program. Their overall permanent resident application may be strengthened by this. Getting permanent residence and getting nominated by a province are two different things.
Candidates who have provincial nominations still have to apply separately to IRCC. Between federal and provincial governments, immigration is considered a shared responsibility.
