1668 candidates were invited by three Canadian provinces from June 3 to 9, namely Ontario, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
Candidates having specific attributes who can economically establish themselves within any particular province have been targeted by the PNP programs operated by each province. There are targeted streams for newcomers who are proficient in French so that the French language can have prominence outside of Quebec.
These streams have also reflected the recently announced updates to the federal Express Entry system. Candidates eligible for category-based selection could be invited to upcoming draws this year as announced by the province on May 31. Invitations were sent to Express Entry candidates only on the basis of a high Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score until the categories were introduced.
Having work experience in a targeted occupation may provide an advantage just like Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Still, to obtain Canada PR, candidates nominated by any particular province must apply separately to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
