The Canadian federal government continues to increase the number of invitations for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) each year, making it one of the fastest-growing pathways for economic immigration. PNPs are especially popular among refugees, offering a quick route to permanent residency in Canada. The process begins when a successful applicant receives a provincial nomination, which allows them to apply for permanent residency with the federal government. This two-step process starts with the provincial nomination, where the individual is accepted at the regional level before moving on to the federal stage.
