Under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) each province and
territory has a list of occupations that are needed in province
or territory. Once it is determined what province you wish
to immigrate to, you must have at least one year of full-time
work experience in the specified occupation. The applicant
is then assessed by Citizen and Immigration Canada officials
using various criteria such as i.e. age, education, occupation,
occupational demand, years of work experience, English/French
language ability, personal suitability and family in Canada.
A points system is applied and a successful applicant must
achieve a minimum set of points or close to the minimum for
their application to be successful.
If it appears that you qualify based upon the current stipulations,
it is important to
submit your application as soon as possible
as Canadian National Occupations List, the Immigration Act and
Immigration Regulations change frequently and you might not qualify
at a later date.
Once you qualify under the PNP Program you then have to make
a separate application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada
(CIC) for permanent residence status where a CIC officer assesses
your application subject to the Canadian Immigration Regulations.
