PROVINCIAL NOMINATION PROGRAM
Description
Provincial Nomination Program for CANADA
In
Canada, States are called Provinces. Anyone being selected under a PNP program,
whether with express entry or independently, will have to stay for a period of
at least 2 year in that very state on attaining PR. Only after completing this
term, can he/she freely move to any other part of the country. If a candidate
has made an online express entry profile, they must show their interest for a
specific province for them to be seen and selected by that province, if their
skill level is in demand in that province. Upon getting shortlisted, they will
have 30 days time frame to either accept the invitation by state for further
processing or may cancel nomination as per choice. Once the nomination is
accepted by the candidate, he/she will be required to pay the required fee of
the province along with set of documents for the embassy to assess their
profile. Normally the processing takes 60-90 days for the province to grant you
the nomination certificate. Once the nomination is issued and clubbed with EE
profile, the candidate becomes eligible to get additional 600 pts, making them
high rankers in the pool. Thereafter they get shortlisted by the federal draw
that takes place.
The
following are the various provincial nomination programs that one can apply
for;

Alberta Provincial
Nomination program:
The AINP is a partnership between Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and
the Government of Alberta that seeks out skilled and semi-skilled foreign
nationals who can immediately enter the Albertan workforce and therefore
benefit the economy as soon as possible. Prospective immigrants can apply to
the Alberta PNP 2018 in two different ways. An Expression of Interest (EOI) can
be sent directly to Immigration Alberta without going through the Canadian
Express Entry system. If nominated through this route, an applicant can then
apply for Canada Permanent Residency through Express Entry by uploading their
provincial nomination credentials into the platform. The other option for
people interested in immigrating to Alberta is to begin the process by creating
a new Express Entry profile. Once this is done, the individual can then show an
interest in the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program directly through the system.
If an Alberta nomination is then received, the prospective immigrant will
consequently gain 600 points on his or her Express Entry score, significantly
increasing their chances of being given an Invitation to Apply during the next
Express Entry draw. Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program 2018 Categories:
