Hi,
One of my relatives is interested in immigrating to Canada I have explored the options but I still cant figure out how PNP works? How can one have a job offer when almost all the companies say you have to be PR in Canada?
Any help would be grateful
Thanks
To be able to migrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, one must be nominated by a particular province to become a permanent resident. Once given a certificate of nomination, the federal government usually gives expedited processing of the application for PR visa. A job offer is not a strict requirement of PNP's but if you have one then it makes you more eligible. PNP's of different provinces vary in their eligibility criteria, but more or less, they focus on an applicant's ability to contribute to the economy of the province, their education and work experience, and strong connections to the province. As a provincial nominee, a person is obliged to live, work and settle in the province that nominated him. He simply cannot just move to another province. Otherwise the person who sponsored him may not be eligible to sponsor other applicants in the future. Again, job offer is not a must but t is a plus factor if you have one. I hope this helps!
