Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) came up with a complete overhauled
immigration programme in the winter of 2015, and then onwards there has been a
rapid transformation going around in the immigration landscape in the nation.
The
“Expression of Interest” or also known as “Express Entry” envisaged a new
bridge for the immigrants to make it to the country. The programme enabled
skilled and vibrant workers, business person and person with Canadian work
experience to thrive in the overseas hotspot.
But
there are some aspects that have completely made this immigration rigid. The
Skilled Occupation List (SOL) doesn’t consider every profession making it tough
for the immigrants to use the programme in the best of their interest. At the
same time, even for those who have skills and expertise, they are failing
somewhere or the other in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) even as this
makes the movement extremely challenging.
But to
no surprise, the Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP) is there to help the
immigrants to leave an imprint on the minds of the IRCC. The PNP programme has
separate methodology of evaluation and many of the immigrants who have failed
drastically under the “Express Entry” programme have got a backdoor entry to the
Maple Leaf Country through the PNP.
Let’s
first explain the readers and the applicants about the PNP for Canada for skilled
workers first and then we will look into the interior aspect of this programme!
What is PNP Programme?
Irrespective
of the rules and regulations set by the IRCC, most of the provinces in Canada
have the leverage to release their own PNP and invite foreign immigrants to
enter, work and gain Permanent Residency (PR) through their nomination and
sponsorship.
The
PNP programme is entirely autonomous in nature, and there is no domination at
the hands of IRCC to tamper its freedom. The PNP allows the provinces in the
nation to hire workers for the sector where they are lagging behind. The
requirement of each province is different, so the programme may vary from
province to province. As an immigrant, you must understand the requirements of
every province and accordingly apply under the PNP programme for Canada.
How to determine the eligibility for
PNP programme to Canada
It is
not mandatory that the PNP programme should remain uniform across every
province and the requirements change with the tick of the clock. The
requirements of the program may change with the nature of the application. If
you are applying for the paper based method, the scenario would be different
for skilled workers as compared to the one filed through “Express Entry”
programme. At the same time, it is imperative that you have been nominated by
the province to streamline the immigration.
Provincial Nominee Program to Canada
for Skilled Workers
If you
are skilled in certain profession that has not been recognized under the “Express
Entry” “National Occupation List”, there is always the possibility where you
can use the PNP to help materialize the movement.
The
province has the sole rights to choose the right skilled workers who can help
the province meet with their specific economic needs. You can easily find all
the updates about the PNP programme on the government website and figure-out
the job that are in demand and apply accordingly.
Basically,
the PNP has an assorted range of schemes and diversification based on which the
immigration is streamlined, but the major part of the movement is done through
five major categories:
- Skilled workers,
- Semi-skilled workers,
- Business/investors,
- International student graduates, and
- Family or community connections.
