Each Canadian province and one territory have set up their own unique PNP to recruit suitable skilled workers to their province (except for Quebec, which has a different selection system).Each PNP is tailored to the province’s/territory’s specific needs to select nominees who will be able to settle into life and work in the region and to effectively contribute to the community.
