The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provincial and territorial governments to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and are interested in settling in a particular province.

The government focuses on selecting nominees who are able to settle into life and work in the region in a manner that will positively contribute to the community.
