How Does The PNP Works?

The PNP is designated for workers who:

1. have the skills, education and work experience to positively add to the economy of a specific province/territory,
2. wish to live in that province/territory, and
3. aim to become permanent residents of Canada.

Through the Express Entry System

There are two ways to apply:

• You contact the province or territory and apply for a nomination under their Express Entry stream.
• If the province or territory agrees to nominate you, you create an Express Entry profile (or update your profile if you already have one) and show you have been nominated.
• You get a nomination through your account, which you accept electronically.

OR

• You create an Express Entry profile and show the provinces and territories you are interested in.
• If a province or territory sends you a “notification of interest” to your account, you contact them directly.
• You apply to their Express Entry stream.
• If you are nominated, they will offer it to you through your account, and you accept it electronically.

In both cases, you will need to create an Express Entry profile during the process, so you should do it right from the start.

Apply to the province or territory directly

Visit a province or territory’s website to find out their criteria for their PNP Express Entry stream. If you are interested and you meet their requirements, submit an application to one of their Express Entry streams.

If a province or territory agrees to nominate you, you must:

1. 1. Update your Express Entry profile to show that you have a nomination (or create a profile if you have not already – see step #1).
   • Choose the province or territory from the drop-down menu. It will show up after you change the previous answer to “yes.”
2. Update your profile to show you are interested in that province or territory, if you have not already.
3. Contact the province or territory, outside of your account, and give them your:
   • Express Entry profile number
   • Job Seeker Validation Code
4. Wait for the province or territory to confirm your nomination with IRCC.
   • You will get a message in your account when the province or territory confirms your nomination. You will find this at the top of the Application/profile details page in your account.
5. Accept or reject (“do not accept”) the nomination in your account
   • If the province or territory offers you a nomination through your account, you will have 30 calendar days to either accept or reject it. To do this, click either the “accept” or “do not accept” button in your account.
   • If you accept the nomination, the system will find that you meet the requirements for the PNP. You will get a letter (in PDF format) in your account that confirms your nomination. You will be awarded 600 additional points that will help you quickly get invited to apply. The province or territory will contact you directly and send you a copy of your nomination certificate. (If you already got 600 points for a job offer, you will not get more points for a nomination. In either case, the additional points only apply once.)
   • If you reject or ignore the nomination, you will stay in the Express Entry pool. You may be invited to apply under any program that you have been found eligible for.
