Provincial Immigration Pathways
Using the provincial immigration pathways, a total of 5 provinces of Canada have released invitations. Why do these provinces or territories issue invitations? Well, it is because the country is in need of workers and the workers in Canada are not being enough. Hence, the nation has been allocating invitations to territories and provinces so that they can call for individuals who they think would be helping the local economy to grow.
These provincial immigration pathways give provinces the freedom to select candidates based on their skills and CRS points. These potential candidates, in the future, will help the province in growing further. They join the labor force and work as valued workers in the job market.
Which Provinces Held PNP Draws?

Though the draws were out on 30th March, the results only came out recently. Around 150 invitations were sent to candidates. What candidates needed in this province’s PNP was familial ties, and their interested job field should be in the primary occupation in demand. Apart from this, they needed to have a minimum CRS score of 372.
