The latest draws in British Columbia and Manitoba invite PNP applicants

British Columbia and Manitoba have invited candidates in Canada’s latest Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws.

Provincial Nominee Programs are immigration programs run by each of Canada’s provinces and territories (except Quebec Nunavut). They exist because the federal government shares responsibility for immigration with the provinces.

Every year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship CanadaThe IRCC creates an Immigration Levels PlanThe plan identifies the number permanent residents that will be admitted into Canada in the next year and sets nominal goals for the two following years. IRCC determines the number of permanent residents that will be admitted to Canada by each program through its plan. For example, IRCC will accept 110,000 new permanent citizens through the PNP in 2024.

To help each province meet this target, IRCC allocates nominations. The provincial governments select the economic immigrants who they believe will have the greatest impact on the local economies and fill urgent labour shortages in their provinces.
