Canada has issued so far in this year a total of 38 draws. All have been through the Provincial nominee program and Canada experience program. Surprisingly, Canada has not released any CEC draw since September 2021. Canada is also likely to start once again the Federal Skilled Worker Program. Since new immigration minister Fraser has taken over the charge, more good decisions are due to come.
The PNP works for those who:
- want to live in that province
- want to become permanent residents of Canada
- have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory
