PNPs or Provincial Nominee Programs are programs that have been designed by provincial governments in cooperation with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to facilitate the process of settling, finding work, and adapting in specific provinces in Canada for specific groups of foreign nationals. Within these programs, each province decides based on its requirements what groups of foreign nationals would do better and help boost the local economy
PNP Canada programs allow Canadian provinces to nominate individuals for immigration to their province based on criteria set by the provincial government.
Provincial Immigration Programs are a great alternative for candidates who don’t meet federal immigration program requirements.

Express Entry is by far the most popular and typically the fastest program to obtain Canadian Permanent Residency through. The Express Entry program calculates a score for each applicant depending on a collection of categories. However, if your CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) is low, you can plan to apply in any of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) for Canada. Many PNPs accept the applicant even with low CRS score.
