The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a path to Canadian Permanent Residency. The Canadian federal government has entered into arrangements with Canadian Provinces and Territories that allows the provinces to select their own immigrants and have the flexibility to address their own unique economic needs. If the applicant wants to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, he must first apply to the province where he wish to settle and complete the process. Approved applicants will be issued a Provincial Nominee Certificate. The applicant is eligible to apply for Permanent Residence relying on that Provincial Nominee Certificate. The applicant can now apply for a temporary work permit to work with the Canada employer while the Permanent Residence application is in process.
