Now, apply online or offline for the nomination through the PNP program of the province you want to settle. Get selected for the nomination from the province. Once, you have received the nomination certificate from the province; apply for the PR visa to IRCC (Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada).

What is Express Entry Stream of a Provincial Nominee Program?

The IRCC allows the provinces and territories of Canada to select the candidates from the pool of Express Entry System as their additional or ‘enhanced nominations’ in order to meet the labour market needs in the province.

The express entry applicants in the pool, who get such nominations from a particular province, obtain 600 additional CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) points in the EE system. These additional CRS points drastically increase their total score and as result, they become eligible to get the PR invitation from IRCC in the subsequent draw of Express Entry. However, the candidate needs to meet the criteria of any of the below three streams of express entry.

Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)
Federal Skilled Trades (FST)
Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

As per the PNP, candidate may apply in PNP first and register on Express entry after getting the provincial nomination or can register on express entry first and can apply for nomination later after getting selected in EE pool.

What are the parameters PNPs look for selecting a candidate for Nomination?

The Provinces usually look for the highly skilled and experienced candidates, who are capable of contributing to their economy and growth. The key things provinces look in an applicant are:

Qualification
Language Proficiency
Work Experience,
Applicant’s relation to the province, i.e. through family members, etc.
Willingness to settle in the province
Adaptability factor

Visas Avenue proven to be good consultant when it's regarding processing my Canadian pr. To me they were professional and I’m completely satisfied with the accountability they have shown in my case and follow ups they did for me. Rajeshwari.V is my Case Manager for Canada and she did an excellent job in explaining me the whole process/ documents needed and how/where to get them. Finally i got my pr exactly on/before the expected processing time. I knew the whole process and yet I took help of visas avenue as I wanted professionals to fail-proof my application and make sure it cause no extra unnecessary delays and that’s exactly what I got for them. Definitely recommended..!!

Mr. Lenin Reddy

Highly recommend them. This is not my first experience with them, but in fact have got my brother s, bhabhi s and two friend s applications already processed through them. The fees is quite reasonable and transparent and even for a straightforward case, I would recommend going with VA. Special shout out to Vaibhav and Samiksha for standing with me throughout the process. Thanks a ton, guys!""The best thing about Visa Avenues is that when they take up your application, they really get invested in the process. I started off with a 189/190 application but when the application conditions changed, VA advised me to go for 489. This is significant as they normally dont lodge 489 applications, but did it on my behalf as I was already a client. This willingness to go beyond what is strictly required is what I appreciate the most. Further, they are very diligent in going through the requirements and in dotting every i and ticking every t.

Javin Goyal

"Visa Avenues is a superb professional services available for immigration related consulting. They are super prompt, reliable, thorough and provide alternatives if required. My experience is based on working with Samiksha Lal, Vaibhav Saini and Shivangi Arora."
