Short answer: Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) lets provinces select candidates for local economic needs. A provincial nomination supports federal permanent residence. Some streams align with Express Entry and add large CRS points.
Information current as of October 2026.
How do PNP and Express Entry interact?
| Situation | Detail |
|---|---|
| Express Entry-aligned PNP | Nomination adds CRS points; PR via Express Entry |
| Base (paper) streams | Nomination then federal paper PR filing |
Does a nomination guarantee PR?
No. Federal medical, security and eligibility screening still apply.
