If you want a Canada Permanent Resident Visa, you have numerous good visa options to choose from. Right from the federal immigration programmes to the Provincial Nominee Programmes (PNPs) to the Quebec Immigration Programme, the options are varied and many.
The Maple Leaf Country is a nation which welcomes skills from all over the world through its well-known and extensively used Canada PNP Programme. This highly speedy and well organized immigration system run by the different provinces and territories of the nation selects the best skilled workers.
Its different provinces & territories have an agreement with the Federal Government that allows them to nominate immigrants (individuals & families), on the basis of their specific immigration requirements and also the candidates’ goal.
Canada PNP Programme-What Gives It An Edge?
1. Fast Track
The Canada PNP Programme is a fast-track way of getting a Canada Permanent Resident Visa.
2. Low Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score
Competition to get a PR Visa, through the federal immigration programme, popularly called Express Entry, is pretty high, and so is the minimum CRS score for receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA). The best thing about the Canada PNP Programme is, perhaps, the fact that through it you can become a permanent resident even if your CRS score is not too high.
3. Provincial Nomination Helps
As mentioned earlier, nearly every Canadian province and territory running and managing Canada PNP Programme has an understanding or agreement with the Federal Government and resultantly a separate Express Entry stream. If you apply through it for a Canada Permanent Resident Visa you will be at an advantage, as a nomination from the involved province or territory will fetch you an additional 600 points, and this will dramatically improve your chances.
PNP Options
You have two options of getting Provincial Nomination and Canada PR
1. You may become a permanent resident in the country via applying directly to the province or territory on your radar-and as mentioned just a short while ago-get nomination from the said province or territory for Canada PR Visa.
2. The other option is you apply straight under Express Entry under its PNP category. This will increase the pace of your PR visa process and also boost your chances of becoming a permanent resident in the overseas hotspot.
The choice is yours-which path you use. As per some observers the latter is better-you apply under Express Entry’s PNP category.
