- If client is required to be eligible in FSW, they must include settlement funds
- A PNP job offer is NOT AE in a Federal Program but some applicants meet both the requirements for the PNP Job Offer of 600 points & Federal AE for 50 points if they are already on an LMIA based work permit or have been working for the employer under R204(a)(c) or R205. EE CRS will stop the calculation at 600 points awarded for Nomination Certificate. No additional points will be granted. However, in the case of having both, they will not need settlement funds
Proof of Funds or AE
- Once the client receives their EE Nomination Certificate and Work Support Letter, the client will also receive the PNP Notice of Nomination in their EE profile. You must click on this button ASAP to ensure that your client is awarded the 600 points. An ITA will surely follow once the next round of invitations is released.
Provincial Nominee Programs
The Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) have been set up in most provinces in Canada. The program aims to quicken immigration processing for Canadian provinces’ needs.
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is designed to enable provinces and territories to support the immigration of people who have expressed an interest in settling in their province or territory. The province or territory believes that these people will be able to contribute to the economic development and prosperity of that province or territory and Canada. Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements
The Canadian government can nominate immigrants who wish to live, settle, and work in a particular Canadian province
Few examples,
- British Columbia province runs a Tech Pilot PNP stream because the province has a growing tech sector in need of more workers.
- Nova Scotia province has a PNP specifically dedicated to attracting doctors because the province needs more medical professionals.
- Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream is one of the most popular PNP streams. It offers an easy immigration pathway for workers with skilled work experience, education, and language abilities.
Process
You can apply for a PNP program by applying directly to a PNP program – the province will review your application based on their selection criteria and points system. If your application is found to be a suitable candidate, the province will issue a nomination letter which you have to use to apply within your federal application for permanent residence.
How you will apply depends on which Provincial Nominee Program stream you’re applying to. You might need to apply using the non-Express Entry process or through Express Entry. As part of the process, you will have to pass a medical exam and get a police check (certificate)
