Canada's eleven Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) let provinces and territories select economic immigrants tailored to local labour needs. We handle Enhanced (Express Entry-aligned) and Base streams across the country — with deeper focus on our home province, Ontario.
A Provincial Nominee Program lets a province or territory nominate you for permanent residence based on its own labour-market priorities — tech workers in British Columbia, healthcare staff in Saskatchewan, in-demand trades in Ontario, entrepreneurs in Manitoba. The province issues a nomination certificate; you then apply to IRCC for the federal permanent-residence decision.
A PNP nomination through an Express Entry-aligned (Enhanced) stream adds +600 CRS points to your profile — effectively a guaranteed Invitation to Apply in the next federal draw. Base PNP streams skip Express Entry entirely; the province nominates directly and you file a paper PR application with IRCC. Both lead to the same outcome: permanent residence.
Most provinces run both Enhanced and Base streams. Which one fits depends on your work history, language scores, occupation, and any tie to the nominating province. We confirm the right path at the first consultation.
Faster federal processing, requires an Express Entry profile.
Standalone provincial nomination, no Express Entry required.
Every province and territory in Canada operates a PNP except two — Quebec runs its own immigration selection system, and Nunavut does not currently operate a nominee program. Click any program for a deeper dive into streams, 2026 priorities, and recent changes.
Ontario's program — typically the largest by intake. Streams across Employer Job Offer (Foreign Worker, International Student, In-Demand Skills), Human Capital (Masters & PhD Graduate, Express Entry-aligned), and Business (Entrepreneur). Specifics shift periodically — confirm current eligibility at your consultation.
Tech-focused selection plus general skilled worker, healthcare, entry-level / semi-skilled, international graduate, and entrepreneur streams. Uses the SIRS points system for invitations.
Alberta's program (formerly AINP). Streams across Alberta Express Entry, Opportunity, Rural Renewal, Accelerated Tech Pathway, and entrepreneur categories.
Express Entry-aligned, occupations-in-demand, employer-driven, hard-to-fill skills pilot, plus entrepreneur and farm investor streams.
Skilled Worker in Manitoba (existing connection), Skilled Worker Overseas (strategic recruitment), International Education stream, and business investor stream.
Express Entry-aligned (Nova Scotia Demand, Nova Scotia Experience, Labour Market Priorities), occupations in demand, physician, and entrepreneur streams.
Express Entry-aligned, skilled worker, critical worker pilot, post-graduate entrepreneurial, and business streams.
Express Entry, labour impact (skilled / critical / international graduate), and business impact (work permit) streams. Uses periodic Expression of Interest draws.
Express Entry skilled worker, skilled worker, international graduate, and international entrepreneur streams.
Skilled worker, critical impact worker, Yukon Express Entry, and business nominee streams — employer-driven.
Skilled worker, Express Entry, critical impact worker, and entrepreneur streams. Smaller annual intake than southern PNPs.
Quebec runs its own immigration selection system (separate Quebec Skilled Worker Program, Quebec Experience Program, etc.) — applicants pass through a Quebec selection certificate (CSQ) before applying to IRCC. Nunavut does not currently operate a provincial nominee program.
Every PNP matter is handled directly by Jugraj. The path below is the four-step backbone of every file; provincial-specific steps slot in where needed.
We assess your work history, language scores, occupation (NOC/TEER), education, and any connection to a province. We identify the streams you qualify under and pick the strongest pathway — Enhanced or Base.
We file the provincial intake (OINP EOI, BC PNP SIRS profile, SINP EOI, MPNP EOI, etc.). Some streams are first-come; others are points-ranked. We monitor draws and respond to invitations.
If invited and approved, the province issues a nomination. For Enhanced streams, +600 CRS is applied to your Express Entry profile and an ITA follows in the next federal draw.
Full PR application to IRCC — medical exam, biometrics, supporting documents, security checks. We respond to procedural fairness letters and follow up on stalled files. You're walked through landing once approved.
The exact checklist depends on the province, the stream, and your family situation. This is the working inventory most PNP files need — we customise it after the first consultation.
PNP files involve two sets of government fees: the provincial application fee (which varies by province and stream), and IRCC's federal permanent-residence fees. The IRCC schedule below is the same fee structure that applies to every Express Entry and PNP-to-PR file.
IRCC fees as of April 30, 2026. Medical exam, language tests, ECA reports, translations, and police certificates are billed separately by their respective providers.
Provincial fees vary widely by program and stream — Ontario's OINP charges per stream tier, BC PNP charges a separate provincial fee, several Atlantic PNPs are no-fee or low-fee. Confirm the current provincial fee with the relevant program at the time of application.
