How PNP draws work

  1. What a PNP is

    A Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) lets a province or territory nominate candidates for Canadian permanent residence based on local labour-market and settlement needs. Every province except Quebec runs one; Quebec operates its own separate selection program.

  2. How a PNP draw works

    Each province maintains its own pool of candidates (often via an expression-of-interest system) and periodically selects the highest-scoring profiles to receive an invitation — a nomination or a nomination-step letter. The criteria, scoring scale, and cadence vary by province and by stream.

  3. Enhanced vs. base nominations

    Enhanced PNP streams are tied to Express Entry — a nomination adds 600 CRS points and effectively guarantees a federal Invitation to Apply. Base streams run entirely at the provincial level and lead to a separate PR application submitted directly to IRCC.

  4. Why scores differ by province

    BC's SIRS tops out around 200, Ontario uses a distinct points model that can produce scores in the hundreds, Manitoba's MPNP score sits on its own scale, and Saskatchewan's SINP is out of 100. The number itself is meaningful only within one province's system.

  5. What to do after an invitation

    You typically have 30 to 60 days from a provincial invitation to submit a complete nomination application with supporting documents. Deadlines and required documents vary by province and stream — always check the official provincial page before you apply.

Key facts

  • Nine provinces and two territories actively run PNP streams; Quebec operates a separate provincial selection system.
  • Minimum scores are not comparable across provinces — each uses its own scoring scale (BC /200, SK /100, ON uses its own scheme).
  • Invitations issued per draw is the most useful cross-province volume metric, and is the basis of the hub chart below.
  • An enhanced-stream nomination adds 600 CRS points in Express Entry; a base-stream nomination leads to a direct PR application.
  • Draw cadence varies widely — some provinces invite weekly, others monthly, and a few run only a handful of targeted draws each year.
  • The history shown here is transcribed from each province's public announcements and is not a forecast of future cutoffs or volume.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Provincial Nominee Program?

A Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a pathway that lets a province or territory nominate candidates for Canadian permanent residence based on its own labour-market needs. Every province except Quebec runs at least one PNP stream, and each sets its own eligibility criteria, scoring model, and draw schedule.

Why aren't minimum scores shown side-by-side on this hub?

Each province uses a different scoring scale — British Columbia's SIRS is out of 200, Saskatchewan's SINP is out of 100, Ontario's OINP runs a separate points model — so a "score of 80" in one province has no defined relationship to a "score of 80" in another. Putting those numbers on a shared axis would be misleading. We chart invitations issued here because that unit (ITAs) is directly comparable, and we chart minimum scores on each province's own page.

What does "invitations issued" mean?

Invitations issued is the count of candidates who received an invitation-to-apply (or nomination-step letter) in a given draw. It measures draw volume in a unit that is consistent across provinces, even though the score thresholds and scoring rules behind each invitation differ province by province.

How often does each province run draws?

Draw cadence varies significantly. Some provinces invite candidates weekly or every two weeks; others run monthly or only a handful of highly targeted draws each year. See each province's page for its observed cadence and the "Last verified" stamp for the most recent draw we've captured.

Where does this data come from?

Each draw is transcribed from the official provincial announcement — the source links appear in the citation block at the bottom of this page and on each province's page. We update whenever the province publishes a new draw; the freshness badge above tells you the latest verification date.

Is this page official immigration advice?

No. This page is a reference that compiles publicly available PNP draw announcements. It is not legal or immigration advice, and historical cutoffs are not predictions. Always verify against the official provincial page before relying on any number for a real application decision.
