Discover insights into the results of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws held across Canada during the second week of March 2024.

The PNPs allow all Canadian provinces to define specific criteria for their own immigration pathways. Each province administers distinct nominee programs designed to meet its unique requirements. These initiatives frequently focus on attracting international graduates, entrepreneurs, and experienced professionals in different occupations. The selection criteria may differ based on factors like labor market demands and demographic gaps within the province.

Numerous Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) conduct draws where they invite candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence nomination. Some PNPs require candidates to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile to be eligible for these draws. In contrast, certain programs directly invite candidates from the Express Entry pool, even if they haven’t formally applied for consideration.

Recent Draws Across Canada

The frequency of the draws held and the amount of invitations sent, depend entirely on each of the provinces. These are the provinces that held draws this week:

Quebec

This province operates a number of different immigration programs enabling eligible candidates to secure Canadian permanent residence  in the province. The federal government has granted the province of Quebec significantly more autonomy in immigration policies and procedures, which is why Quebec’s immigration programs are often treated separately from other provinces.

March 7, 2024 – Draw:

A total of 1136 persons were invited to apply for permanent selection.

The applicants invited in the this draw, met the following criteria:

Some invitations were also addressed to people meeting the following criterion:

  • They had a level 7 oral proficiency (or higher) in French according to the Québec scale of French proficiency levels for adult immigrants.
  • They had a valid job offer outside the territory of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal.
