PNP has significant differences among provinces, so one should research about the intended province.
In general, it also has a very specific cap, so space is limited.
I would say that is a really viable option mainly for international students, as most provinces have targeted streams especially for that group.
I don't mean that others can't apply, just that in some cases, the requirements are easier for students.
But definitely, a lot longer process than LMIA, some provinces have more than 18-20 months processing time.
