New Invites Sent By Ontario, British Columbia & Manitoba in Their Latest PNP Draws

Highlights

• Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba sent new invitations to apply to interested candidates from the Express Entry pool.

• Candidates with an Express Entry profile are prioritized in the latest PNP draws

Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba issued fresh invitations for candidates to apply for a Provincial Nomination last week. Most of the territories and provinces of Canada operate their own Provincial Nominee Programs except Quebec and Nunavut. Through these programs, interested candidates are invited to apply for Provincial Nominations. Having a Provincial Nomination helps a candidate to earn 600 points on the CRS scale, adding some extra benefits for the candidates applying for a PR in Canada.

Quebec however, has a distinct immigration program that is not connected with Canada’s immigration programs. Quebec has autonomy over all the economic class immigration processes in Quebec. Hence, all the Quebec immigration programs are administered by the Quebec government and not the Canadian immigration authority.

Almost 105,000 immigrants are admitted through these PNPs every year. Since its launch in 1998, PNPs have been instrumental in handling PR applications through multiple streams of admission. Both Federal and Provincial governments hold the PNPs to be an effective tool to promote economic development in areas other than the town center.

The latest draws from February 4th-10th, 2023 by Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba have sent invites to multiple eligible candidates. Here are the insights into the latest PNP draws in the aforementioned provinces.
