Fundamentals of the PNP Program

People aspiring to Immigrate to Canada are familiar with the Express Entry system of Immigration. This is the Canada Permanent Residency program that allows skilled workers to migrate to Canada and settle permanently in the country.

This is a point’s based system that ranks applicants on several qualifying factors like age, Educational qualification, work experience, English language proficiency and other factors. This is the called the Comprehensive Ranking system. A fortnightly draw is then conducted and the most suited applicants are issued an Invitation to apply for Canada PR.

However, for those applicants who don’t qualify under this system there is a less known alternative route to Immigrate to Canada. This is called the Provincial Nomination Program. This Immigration program is connected to the Express Entry Program yet distinct in its features and modus operandi.

How does it work?

The provinces in Canada have an independent system of functioning for more efficiency. Certain populated provinces in Canada like Ontario, British Columbia have a higher rate of progress and development due to the infrastructure, skilled populace and availability of facilities.

But, certain provinces like Prince Edward Island, Yukon and others face a scarcity of skilled workers. They have an abundance of opportunities and require overseas skilled workers to come and meet the labour market requirements. Hence, this Immigration program is established.

Subdivisions under the program:

The Provincial Nomination program is further classified into different streams. One of the streams is always aligned with the Federal Express Entry system and requires candidates to have an Express Entry profile. Another stream is the employer based one which requires candidates to have a job offer from an Employer in the province in order to qualify under the program.

There is also Business Immigration & Entrepreneur Immigration routes under the PNP. The Skilled Worker route will require candidates to qualify on a points based program that is specifically designed under the program. For candidates with a qualification from the province or skilled work experience in the province there are special routes for them to Immigrate.

Essentials of the Program:

It is imperative that candidates issued an Invitation to migrate to the particular province in Canada intend to settle in the province and are able to demonstrate that. The obligation that lies here is they are required to live in the province for a minimum period of two years before they decide to re-locate anywhere in Canada. This is because their selection is determined by their ability to contribute to the province.

For further details on available PNP programs contact our in-house Immigration advisors.

Permanent Residency Visa Vs Work Visa

Immigration today receives tremendous response owing to the rising demand. With a plethora of Immigration programs and Global Mobility options, it can be very confusing for an individual to narrow down their options. An International move would not only help your career graph, your family also can derive a lot of benefits from the migration or permanent settlement.

The most popular migration route today is the Permanent Residency route that allows skilled migration for skilled workers from all across the globe. The Canada Express Entry and Australia Permanent residency programs are very popular in this regard. They assess candidates on a points based system and then have a selection process for the most eligible candidates.

The Employment visa route is the most common Immigration process. Employers who can’t find candidates or a skill in the country can hire an overseas worker who possesses that skill to fill in the role without affecting the labour market. The UK Tier 2 Visa, LMIA Canada, Temporary Shortage Skill (TSS) Australia are work permit programs.

Both these Immigration systems help individuals find their way into permanent settle and obtain citizenship but they do fundamentally differ in the duration of their course. Permanent residency provides a direct pathway for settlement in the country from the first day of moving itself. There no hassles for visa changes. In addition to that individuals have the freedom to work with any employer in the country without restrictions on Employment.

Work visas give you an opportunity to enter the country, study the work culture and take your family with you. You cannot switch employers on this visa. After a successful term you can also apply for the permanent residency programs in Canada or Australia (provided you meet all the conditions) and eventually settle.
