This week, four Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) issued nominations to immigration candidates.
Candidates were selected for their professional experience, secured employment, and general eligibility for provincial immigration.
Note: Each PNP uses its own scoring system, (or if a stream is aligned with the federal Express Entry system, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)) to assign eligibility points to immigration candidates. These scores are largely not comparable to each other and should be viewed only within the context of a specific PNP.
