This week, invitations to apply for provincial immigration programs were sent out by Manitoba, British Columbia, and Quebec.
In response to their most recent Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws, Manitoba and British Columbia both sent out invitations and Expressions of Interest. PNPs are available in all provinces and territories to assist provincial governments in choosing economic immigrant applicants who are most likely to fit in well with the local labor.
Because immigration is a shared duty of the federal and provincial governments, the PNP is effective. Provinces receive a set number of nominations annually that they can use for candidates.
Those who are able to secure a nomination from their province will subsequently have a greater advantage when applying for permanent residence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Quebec does not need a PNP since province has a separate arrangement with the federal government that provides it control over the selection of all economic immigrants rather than getting an allotment. Candidates in Quebec are invited to apply for a certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) in lieu of being nominated.
This week, four distinct occupation-based draws for applicants in the Skilled Worker and International Graduate streams (including Express Entry BC) were held by British Columbia (B.C.), inviting 68 people to apply to the BCPNP. June 4 was the date of the draw.

Ultimately, a Strategic Recruitment Initiative resulted in the issuance of 45 letters to applicants in the Skilled Workers Overseas Stream. A minimum score of 708 was necessary for these applicants.
