What to do if a province or territory cancels PNP nomination?

What is the Canada Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)?

A Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a pathway offered to Canadian Permanent residents for individuals interested in immigrating to specific Canadian provinces or territories.

 

Securing a Provincial Nominee program can benefit prospective immigrants to Canada, but sadly, a province can cancel or withdraw an applicant’s nomination for various reasons.

 

It is operated by 11 of the country’s provincial/territorial governments, excluding Quebec and Nunavut; PNPs are always in the top two pathways in Canada. Indeed, PNPs were the most extensive immigration program in the country for both this year and last.

What difference does it make if an individual acquires a PNP nomination?

Acquiring a nomination through one of Canada’s PNPs can significantly affect an individual’s chances of successfully immigrating to Canada.

 

PNP nomination can give the prospective immigrant a pathway to enter Canada through one of the many streams made available by each government under their particular program. Other than that, a provincial nomination provides the nominee with 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points. If they are already an Express Entry Candidate, they go through enhanced nomination.

 

These points guarantee that a candidate in the Express Entry Pool will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency in Canada. 

 

Provinces have the right of cancelling or withdrawing the PNP nomination:

At the time of participating, each participating province makes it clear that nominees can have their PNP nominations cancelled if they don’t continue to meet the conditions of their nomination. This can occur before an applicant is approved for Canadian PR.

 

For instance, some conditions could include an in-hold offer of employment that allowed the candidate to become eligible for PNP nominations or maintain a certain level of funds required to immigrate to a particular province.

 

Another withdrawal condition can be misrepresentation by the Government of Canada as directly or indirectly representing the material or facts in an irrelevant manner. This can include anything related to immigration, such as failure to report changes to your situation through the application procedure.

How do you save PNP from getting cancelled or withdrawn?

To secure a PNP nomination, candidates must follow the requirements set for respective provinces. This also includes maintaining eligibility criteria, revealing any changes in status and providing every detail that will lead to Canadian PR.

 

Suppose any province cancels or withdraws a PNP nominee. In that case, an individual immediately needs to contact the provinces for further guidance to understand the reason for cancellation and provide information that the province might need.
