The Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws are a key part of Canada’s immigration system, helping provinces and territories select skilled workers who can contribute to their local economies. Through the PNP, provinces can nominate candidates in the Express Entry pool who meet specific regional labour market needs.

Currently, 80% of applications under the Express Entry program are being processed in 6 to 8 months.
