Are PNP currently on hold?

Hi, are PNPs currently on hold as some of them, for instance, SINP didn't run any SINP draw so far. Alberta paused their opportunity stream (something like that) and OINP didn't do any draws after 6 Feb.

No, not on hold unless announced as on hold. They are just periodic.

I think most provinces are going to be reviewing their PNP programs (focus on specific NOCs) and the numbers they nominate. SINP has some paths on hold for review. PEI just announced cutting allotment by 25% because of housing and doctors shortages.

Manitoba hasn't sent out any invites since the 8th, they also said they were overwhelmed by the amount of applications and processing times will now exceed 6 months.

They should just do the needful in time. The delay is getting people more frustrated
