What are provincial schemes for immigration?
Each year, 105,000 PR admissions are made through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The annual number of PNP admissions started in 1998 and has been gradually rising ever since. According to the CIC report, both the federal and provincial governments view it as a useful tool for fostering economic growth outside of urban areas.
Getting a provincial nomination may help you eventually become a permanent resident.
