Provincial Nominee Program - PNP
Provincial Nominee Program is for skilled workers, professionals and business individuals. By this program, provinces and territories invite and nominate annually those fulfill the requirements provincial government and receive 600 CRS additional points in their Express Entry profile. Once you are nominated through EE system, you will be able to apply for permanent residency through the EE system. Immigrants have to live & work in specific province or territory for a certain time as obligation. However, Quebec is an exception, as it has a different selection system of its own.
Provincial Nominee Programs are the fastest-growing economic Canadian immigration pathway. Over recent years, the federal government has gradually increased provinces’ annual allocations for their respective PNPs, showing the increasing importance of these programs within the overall Canadian immigration landscape.

Divisions of Provincial Nominee Programs
With more than 70 unique PNP streams across the provinces, we can fit them into three broad categories:
First-come, first-served
This means that once the 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.
Expression of Interest
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.
Passive
Some PNP 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.
