Latest updates on Canada’s Provincial Nominee

Programs
Continuous improvement and innovation mean that receiving a PN (Provincial Nomination) is the best
possible choice. An optional PN of 600 points is applied to your CRS (Complete Ranking System) in
the CRS points calculator. It will place you in front of the other candidates immediately, which makes
it extremely convenient to apply for permanent residence in Canada. The Express Entry program brings
additional quality to your application as it enables potential employers, in compliance with their local
work and demographic requirements, to select your profile. It offers you a greater chance of
permanent residency in Canada.
