 Base PNPs – Candidates apply directly to a province for nomination. If successful, they can submit a permanent residency application through IRCC. These programs do not require Express Entry profiles.

Enhanced PNPs – Candidates are nominated through Express Entry, receiving an additional 600 CRS points, significantly increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the next federal Express Entry draw.
