Canada Latest PNP Draw 2022
Canada PNP Draw is considered the quickest path to a Canada PR visa for skilled foreign workers with Low CRS scores. Canada is divided into ten provinces, each with its own provincial nominee program and criteria for selecting skilled immigrants as per their economic and demographic needs. While some PNPs function independently, others are integrated with the federal express entry system. PNPs associated with Express Entry choose applicants from a pool and nominate them to apply for permanent residency.
Here is the list of latest and proper information about each province and their PNP draws:
The majority of Canadian provinces and territories run their own provincial nominee programs, with the exception of Quebec and Nunavut. Interested candidates may receive invitations to submit applications for provincial nominations through these programs.
