The Government of Canada has stated that it will be accepting an additional 2,000 temporary foreign workers through the Provincial Nominee Program. This announcement was made on March 12, 2019.

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows participating provinces and territories of Canada to nominate a specific number of candidates for Permanent Residence (PR) every year. This program helps the provincial/territorial government to accept more skilled worker to meet the demand for the local labour market.

The Government aims at admitting existing long-term Temporary Foreign Workers in Canada, who have intermediate skills classified as National Occupational Code “C”

In 2019, Canada plans on admitting 61,000 candidates for the PNP. The prospects for Canadian Immigration are growing every day. This makes it an ideal time to consider moving to Canada as a Permanent Resident!
