Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to stay in the province that nominated me?

Upon landing, PR holders are expected to settle in the nominating province. However, as a PR you have mobility rights and can eventually move. It is important to demonstrate genuine intent to reside in the nominating province at time of application.

Which province has the best PNP for my occupation?

It depends on your NOC code, work experience, language level, and job offer. Quitno's specialists monitor all provincial streams daily and match you with the best opportunity for your profile.

Can I apply through PNP if my Express Entry CRS is too low?

Absolutely. PNPs are specifically designed to help candidates who may not score high enough in the general Express Entry pool. A provincial nomination adds 600 points, which typically guarantees an ITA.
