Canada's Express Entry scheme is one of the most popular among talented professionals from other countries. It ranks applicants using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and sends out ITAs (Invitation to Apply) to the top performers. You can always take the help of the Canada immigration consultants in Delhi for your reference.

Despite the fact that we are now in the second quarter of the year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has only held program-specific Express Entry draws so far this year. Only those candidates with Canadian experience or a provincial nomination were invited this year.

How can I get Canada PR invitation in 2021?

The IRCC is likely to invite candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category to the all-program Express Entry System draw. However, if you want to be sure of getting the ITA this year and don't want to gamble on the draws, you must seek to be nominated through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

How PNP nomination can help you get PR visa?

A Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) Express Entry aligned stream allows you to improve your overall express entry CRS score. The nomination from a PNP increases your CRS score by 600 points, ensuring that you receive an invitation to apply for a PR visa from IRCC.

Some most popular Canadian PNPs are:

  • Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)
  • Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
  • Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)
  • Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)
  • Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)

How to apply in a PNP?

Each PNP has its own set of requirements and processes. If you are applying for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) in the EE stream, you must have your profile registered in the EE system and be in the Express entry pool. When creating your profile in the EE system, choose 'All Provinces and Territories' as your chosen province or pick the province where you want to seek for a PNP nomination.

Notifications of Interest (NOIs) to apply for provincial nomination will be issued by the provincial programme in your EE account, and you will then need to apply in the PNP. Direct applications are also accepted by several PNPs.

Before applying for Canada PR from Delhi, it is always advisable to take the help of experts but also check your CRS score using the CRS score calculator.
