The difference between the Provincial Nomination Program and the Express Entry System is one of the frequently asked questions we receive every day. Canada immigration can be daunting and confusing to many. The question of choosing either Express Entry or a PNP can further make the decision complex. So, let's examine each process in turn and decide which one is ideal for you.
The Express Entry System
In addition to addressing Canada's present
labour market needs, the Federal Express Entry System was created to make it
simpler for prospective skilled foreign immigrants to apply for a Canadian
visa. The Express Entry Canada requirements are quite specific. It is a
point-based program that awards applicants points according to factors like
age, education, and work experience, making the selection process more
equitable and open to candidates from all over the world. The system conducts
routine draws from which qualified candidates are chosen and asked to apply for
permanent residency through a number of Federal Economic Immigration
programs. This approach is so enticing because it expedites the entire
process, which means you may leave for Canada in as little as six months from
the time you apply.
To create an online profile, you must first acquire all the required documentation and information and determine whether you fulfil the basic standards. You will be added to a draw pool based on the data you have provided, and from there, you will receive a score according to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) out of a possible 1,200 points. The Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence will thereafter be sent to applicants with the highest CRS scores. There are various ways to raise your CRS score, and the better it is, the more probable it is that you will be granted an ITA for permanent residency. This will increase your chances of success in the application procedure.
Provincial Nominee Program - PNP
The immigration pathways linked between the
Canadian government and local provinces are known as the Provincial Nominee
Program (PNP). The PNPs enables 11 of Canada's 13 provinces and territories to
propose a significant proportion of foreign applicants for permanent residence
who have job offers. The initiative was developed to encourage advancement in
the local labour force. Each province is governed by its own immigration
program and has its own set of requirements. The National Occupation
Classification (NOC) list, which lists the professions that are in-demand in
each province and territory, should be checked by applicants to see if a job
offer is not required. If you are successful, you will then be able to choose
from more than 60 categories, subcategories, and streams. There are two
methods—the Non-Express Entry Method and the Express Entry Method—for
submitting an application for a provincial nomination.
If you select the Non-Express Entry Method,
you will submit a nomination request directly to the province or territory of
your choice. You might need to submit a Notification of Interest (NOI) to the
area, and if chosen, you'll get an ITA for permanent residence, depending on
the province. The processing time for this procedure might range from 15 to 19
months.
In order to use the Non-Express Entry Method, you must first create an online Express Entry profile and specify which provinces or territories you are interested in moving to. Then, based on the province or territory, you will either need to submit a direct nomination application or the region will select and notify you of your selection. Additional 600 points will be added to your CRS score as a bonus, giving you an advantage in the Express Entry draws and almost ensuring that you will be issued an ITA for permanent residency. After obtaining your letter, you will have 60 days to finish your Canadian Visa Application, which will take 4-6 weeks.
That takes us to the essential query, "What is the ideal application process?" To sum up, it solely depends on your final location, personal details, and professional background. If you have a job offer in a specific province in Canada, the Provincial Nomination Program through the Express Entry Method is the best option to apply. The Express Entry System is the best option if you don't have a job offer but have a high CRS score. Do not give up hope, though, if you do not have a job offer and a low CRS score. As long as your profession is listed on the NOC list for your chosen province or territory, you are still eligible for the PNP. In order to immigrate to Canada, you must choose the program best suited to your profile.
