Migrate to CANADA From UAE & Qatar & Bahrain & Kuwait & Saudi Arabia through Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

Canada’s Provincial Nomination Program is an important feature of Canada’s Immigration Laws. This initiative by the Canadian Provinces has proved instrumental in facilitating the entry of skilled workers in the country as well as addressing the skill shortages faced by the province. Browse through each section for specifications on each PNP program.

Each province in Canada has different requirements of migrants depending on their labor shortage. Due to this reason, each of them has their own provincial nominee program which enable migrants to move to Canada much faster. This program enables migrants to work in their field of interest and since this program is based on the labor shortage, there are high chances of getting jobs quicker. People who apply and receive the nominations under this program can apply for work permit or permanent residency to Canada. Under this program, you can apply to the following provinces:

• Quebec
• Alberta
• Nova Scotia
• Saskatchewan
• British Columbia
• Manitoba
• Ontario
• Newfoundland and Labrador
• Yukon

How does the program work?

​

Candidates must first be entered into the Express Entry System with their CRS score, then apply to a PNP program (which is a separate application).  You will remain in the Express Entry pool for a year, or until you are selected to apply for Permanent Residence.

​After the province processes your PNP application (typically 3-4 months), you will be granted 600 points to add to your Express Entry score. With these additional 600 points, you will be selected and invited to apply for PR at the very next draw, which occurs every 2 weeks.

Once a Provincial Nominee Certificate is granted, you receive 600 point that goes towards your Express Entry score.  On average, individuals without a PNP certificate will score between 300 and 500.  The most recent cutoff scores to be selected for Express Entry have been in the 400 – 500 range. Individuals with a PNP Certificate automatically are granted 600 points to add to their Express Entry core of 300-500 points. The PNP certificate would give a final Express Entry score above 900 which is significantly higher than the current cutoff selection score of around 400-500 points.

If you have a close relative living in the Manitoba province, you may be eligible to apply to this PNP program for having a “connection to Manitoba”.  We will need to assess you to determine if you are a strong candidate, as this PNP has their own scoring and selection system similar to Express Entry. Currently, you would need a score above 530 to be a strong candidate.
