Provincial Nominee Program (PNP):<\/strong> Also known as the Canadian Provincial Nominee Program, the PNP allows provinces and territories to nominate prospective immigrants who will live and work in a specific province in Canada.\u00a0 The immigrants selected under the PNP will have the skills, education and work experience that benefits the relevant provinces.<\/p>\nOne of the major requirements for nomination by a province is that you must indicate interest in living in that province. For example, you can\u2019t choose to live in other cities or provinces once your permanent migration visa application has been approved. Although there is no penalty for not living in the pre-selected province, it is expected that you stick to live within that province for ethical reasons.<\/p>\n
Because of the possibility of nominated candidate living in other provinces, the PNP is typically skewed towards those that with strong relationship ties to the province or those that manage to get a job in the province.<\/p>\n
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS): <\/strong>The CRS is the reason why migrating to Canada is not a walk in the park. Basically, the CRS ranks eligible candidates for immigration to Canada through the Express Entry process. If you want to get a PR visa to Canada, you will be assessed based on a number of criteria and it is translated to points on the CRS. Depending on your profile, you can claim up to 1,200 points with at least 600 points coming from a job offer in Canada or the PNP (as described previously).<\/p>\nGenerally, ranking criteria such as age, language ability, relations in Canada, education, work experience, and any potential job offer in Canada can earn you higher points. For instance, if you are young, speak good English based on your IELTS score, have advanced education, good work experience, married to an educated spouse, and most importantly have a job offer in Canada, it will be quite easy for you to be invited to apply.<\/p>\n
You can apply to any of these three schemes<\/p>\n
1) Federal Skilled Worker Program FSWP,<\/p>\n
2) Federal Skilled Trades also known as FST<\/p>\n
3) Canadian Experience Class also known as CEC.<\/p>\n
Once you have been invited to apply for the PR, some of the most important documents you will need to submit include:<\/p>\n
1) Language test results such as IELTS<\/p>\n
2) Education assessment and evaluation report<\/p>\n
3) Reference letters from all the companies you have worked<\/p>\n
