The Provincial Nominee Programs permit each province and territory of Canada to select and nominate candidates for Canadian Permanent Residence. The Canadian provincial nominee programs allow the provinces to respond to their immediate needs. As a result, the provinces can fill the in-demand positions with skilled workers. The 80 different PNPs have their eligibility criteria. Many PNPs require the candidate to have some connection with the province. This could be work experience, studies, or a job offer from the province. On the other hand, some PNPs do not require any connection to the province and are ideal for candidates from outside Canada.
Easy provinces to get Canadian permanent residence in 2021:
SASKATCHEWAN’S INTERNATIONAL SKILLED WORKER
This PNP targets to bring in skilled workers to the province. Candidates with at least one year of experience in the jobs listed on the Saskatchewan In-Demand Occupations List are eligible for immigration.
Candidates must have a post-secondary educational qualification of a minimum of one-year duration and proficiency in English or French.
Saskatchewan International Skilled Worker Program has two streams for candidates from outside Canada.
- The Saskatchewan Express Entry stream, which requires an active Express Entry profile
- The Saskatchewan Occupation In-Demand stream, which does not require an Express Entry profile.
ALBERTA’S EXPRESS ENTRY STREAM
Alberta, the western province of Canada, is worth considering when you apply for Canadian permanent residence. In addition, the main cities of Calgary and Edmonton provide job opportunities.
The Alberta Express Entry stream selects the candidates from the Federal Express Entry Pool. They are then invited to apply for nomination by the province.
The primary benefit of this stream is that the CRS score is 300. This enables more candidates from the pool to qualify for nomination.
Receiving a nomination from the province increases the CRS score to 600. This guarantees an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in the Express Entry draw.
ONTARIO’S HUMAN CAPITAL PRIORITIES STREAM
Ontario, with its bustling city of Toronto and growing job market, attracts immigrants. The Human Capital Priorities Stream is the best option for candidates applying for permanent residence from outside Canada. This program selects skilled workers on priority to fill the skilled worker positions in the province.
The Human Capital Priorities Program works in tandem with the Federal Express Entry System. Candidates with active Express Entry profiles and CRS scores of 400 or more are eligible to apply. Ontario invites only a select number of the Express Entry profiles to apply for the PNP.
Ontario conducts draws targeting tech workers under the Human Capital Priorities Program. Candidates with work experience in any one of the six designated NOC codes are eligible. In addition, the province conducted three tech-specific draws inviting 4350 applicants.
Ontario has a PNP for French-Speaking Skilled Workers. Candidates with proficiency in French and with Express Entry profiles are eligible for immigration under this stream.
