Provincial Nominee Program / PNP
Index
Introduction
The BC Provincial Nominee Program is PNP for short. The plan has been implemented since 2001 and covers a wide range of areas. It is a resettlement plan based on the province’s needs for human resources and investment projects. It is suitable for those who intend to settle permanently in BC, providing experienced workers and successful business people with a faster immigration process than the federal government. At present, the BC Provincial Nomination Program is mainly divided into two categories: Skills Immigration and Business Immigration.

Q&A
A: There is no difference. All applicants get are the PR Card and permanent resident status. New immigrants enjoy the same welfare policies
A: The applicant must intend to be a permanent resident in the nominated province, whether it is in the provincial nomination stage or the federal stage, moving to another province to live in is very likely to lead to visa refusal.
Of course, Canada’s Constitution stipulates that Canadian citizens and permanent residents have the right to move freely. After obtaining Canada’s permanent resident status, you can move freely in Canada without restrictions.
