April 2021 Canada’s PNP immigration results review

PNP activity results for the past month had been reviewed.

Last month, over 3,625 invitations were issued by the Canadian province to apply the provincial immigration for the permanent residence.

Each independent province operate their own Provincial Nominee Nu Programs (PNP) in Canada with exclusions to  Quebec and Nunavet. These provinces had initiated their own task criterions in order to obtain the eligible foreign workers for the Canadian permanent residence in relevance of PNP. These independently conducted provincial immigration programs, the government had an easy troll on selecting the apt candidates eligible to meet the end needs of the local labour market. 

The most prevailing route to a stabilizing pathway of the permanent residence to the economic immigrants are the PNPs alongside the Express Entry system which made quite an impression. The immigration rate are predicted to take a rise of over 80,000 immigrants per year by the year of 2023 through these programs.

Regulation of PNP application process

Various provincial nominee programs influence different application process in terms of how the streams operate. The application can be processed either through the online portals  or  the paper-based application which lately have been transcribed into digital now. 

Expression of Interest (EOI) system  is the criterion by which PNPs operate where the candidates must update their profiles on their education, work experience, and language skills, and they are then scored accordingly. 

Based on these results, the highest-scoring candidates were invited by the provincial nomination through the respective draws. These invitations are issued for candidates who can further proceed with complete application within the limited deadline provided. 

Base and enhanced nomination diversification 

The key difference between the types PNP are the base and enhanced is where one that operates with the Express Entry and the other one doesn’t. 

Base nomination assist the candidates who aren’t eligible to apply to Express Entry, as they are directed by the province themselves. They tend to be more toned down based to the local labour market needs. Meanwhile, the Enhanced nomination deals with streams linked with the Express Entry system. The government processes the selection of the eligible candidates based through the Express Entry criterions, where the candidates are toned down with exceptional skills and highest scores , after which the candidates are issued invitations for a provincial nomination. 

Entry pool candidates are basically of these streams inclusive of Federal High Skilled immigration programs as  Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and Canadian Experience Class

Moreover the candidates through Express Entry are evaluated through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), where the highest scoring candidates are susceptible to getting invitations issued for a provincial nomination alongside their age, skilled work experience, language fluency , and education, additional skills applied. These candidates are evaluated and then awarded a certain score with the minimum eligibility score thereby. 

These candidates who surpass the provincial nomination are rewarded with additional 600 CRS points. 

In order to be eligible for provincial nomination, the candidates must update their profiles to the Express Entry pool.  Over the last decades, many Express Entry system are aligned with many programs streams, where provinces like Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Saskatchewan  had issued their Express Entry candidates.
