 Quebec, BC and PEI Release Immigration Draw Results || VO Visas


Here are the most recent provincial immigration draws in Canada

Over the past week, two Canadian provinces announced the results of their Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws, and Quebec recently held a draw through Arrima.

Most Canadian provinces and territories (except Quebec and Nunavut) have their own PNPs. Through these programs, interested candidates may be invited to run for the provincial nomination. While provincial nomination itself is not equivalent to permanent residency, it can significantly increase your chances of obtaining permanent residency. For example, a PNP candidate nominated with an Express Entry profile will receive an additional 600 points. You may also be invited to request specific PNP invitation rounds.

When the PNP was established in 1998, it only received 400 immigrants, but thanks to its success, it now receives more than 80,000 immigrants each year. The increase in PNP enrollment in Canada is due to the fact that the federal and provincial governments see it as a powerful tool to boost the country's economy.

Quebec has more autonomy over its immigration system than any other province and therefore does not participate in the PNP.

 

People who want to immigrate through the province's immigration system generally must submit personal data to an expressions of interest group called Arrima. Provincial officials then invite candidates whose profiles meet the immigration program's criteria. Invited candidates apply for a provincial nomination or a Quebec Certificate of Election (CSQ) in Quebec.
