To apply, you must first create your profile online. Based on the information in the online profile, every candidate is assigned a score.

A portion of the Provincial Nominee Programs in Canada is also linked to the Express Entry Program. Though the Express Entry aligned PNPs, provinces are able to directly nominate candidates who meet the labour market needs of that particular province. It is also a win-win situation for the candidate as getting a provincial nomination adds 600 more points to your CRS score. That is half of all the CRS score that you can earn which means that in the next invitation round you are bound to get an ITA (Invitation to Apply) for Canada PR.
If you know your CRS score and feel that you are not scoring enough, then going through a PNP could be a very good option. However, you may not qualify for all PNPs as they have unique eligibility requirements. Choose one where you meet the eligibility requirements. Niyama Immigration can help you choose the best PNP option according to your background.
Once you receive an invitation through the Express Entry Program, you get 60 days to submit a completed Canada PR application. Along with other supporting documents, you must also submit your Medicals and Police Clearance Certificates. The IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada) reviews your application and verifies all the documents. Once you clear the verification, you are then asked to submit your passport for Canada PR Visa stamping. The whole process can take anywhere between 6 to 10 months.
