If you don't meet the eligibility criteria for family sponsorship programs
If you don't meet the eligibility criteria for family sponsorship programs (e.g., due to age, marital status, or indirect family relationships), you may consider applying through provincial nominee programs (PNPs).
You may receive additional points if you have family members who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. This can increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from the province or the Canadian government.
