British Columbia and Manitoba recently issued invitations to candidates for applying the current draws of the provincial nominee program (PNP). Unlike Quebec, most of the provinces in Canada use their own PNPs for issuing invitations to suitable applicants. With a provincial nomination, one can easily get to the next step of receiving permanent residency status.
