The PNP is particular to all individual province in Canada with the province having sovereignty over its guidelines. With this program, applicants with relevant work experience, skills and academic qualifications are called by the respective Provincial governments to contribute to its state. These immigrants will be granted as the status of PR that province. Yet, in most cases of PNP’s, the applicant may be required to have a job offer from a particular provincial employer to become qualified for nomination and then apply for the permanent resident visa.
