Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Immigrate to Canada Through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Get Nominated. Get Permanent Residency. With Cougar Immigration.

Want to boost your chances of becoming a permanent resident in Canada? The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows provinces and territories to nominate skilled workers, graduates, entrepreneurs, and semi-skilled workers based on their local labor market needs.

At Cougar Immigration, we help you find the right province, secure a nomination, and turn it into permanent residency through a customized and strategic approach.

What is the PNP?

The Provincial Nominee Program is a collaboration between Canada’s federal government and provincial/territorial governments. It enables provinces to select immigrants who will:

• Support their economic development
• Address labor market shortages
• Commit to living and working in that specific province or territory

A successful PNP nomination adds 600 points to your Express Entry CRS score—almost guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.

PNP Streams We Support

Every province and territory (except Quebec and Nunavut) has its own PNP, with tailored criteria. Cougar Immigration works with streams such as:

• Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
• British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
• Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)
• Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)
• Manitoba PNP (MPNP)
• Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)
• Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) (formerly under PNP umbrella)

Streams may target:

• Skilled workers (Express Entry-linked and direct)
• International graduates
• In-demand occupations
• Entrepreneurs and investors
• Semi-skilled workers in high-demand sectors
