The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and are interested in settling in a region. Each Canadian province and territory has its unique provincial nominee program except Quebec and Nunavut which has a different selection system.
