Immigration is shared responsibility between the federal and provincial/territorial jurisdiction under Canadian Constitution. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has agreements with provinces and territories on how they share responsibility for immigration. Provisions of these agreements allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory, who wish to migrate to Canada and who are interested in settling in a particular province or territory. The key objective of PNP is to spread the benefits of Immigration across Canada.
Each PNP has at least one immigration stream that is aligned with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system. Provincial nominations issued under these Express Entry-aligned streams are known as ‘enhanced nominations’. The benefits of enhanced PNP streams are that they award Express Entry candidates an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, which essentially guarantee they will receive a permanent residence invitation under Express Entry.
Annual Provincial Nominee Targets set in Federal Immigration Levels Plan- 55000 for 2025, 55000 for 2026 and 55000 for 2027.
