Looking to start a new chapter of your life in Canada? You’ll be joining the tens of thousands of Indian citizens who choose to immigrate permanently to Canada each and every year. In this article, we break down Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), outlining what may be the best PNPs for Indians who want to immigrate to Canada.
In 2019, 85,585 Indian nationals were admitted to Canada as permanent residents. This is more than 25 percent of all permanent residence admissions to Canada for the year and is a record-breaking number for Indians. But, how do you take advantage of this wave of immigration to settle in Canada permanently yourself?
There are a range of Canadian immigration options. In another article we covered Express Entry for Indians, but today we are diving deep into Canada’s PNPs for Indians.
Understanding Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
Canada has 13 provinces and territories. Of these, 11 currently have active Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). PNPs allow each of these provinces to select immigrants who will meet a unique need held by the province.
For example, the province of Nova Scotia has a PNP specifically seeking doctors because the province needs more medical professionals. Meanwhile, the province of British Columbia has a Tech PNP stream because the province has a growing tech industry in need of more workers.
But, PNPs are not just about occupations, there are also PNPs that target immigrants with French-language abilities, or with family connections in the province, or with previous education or work experience in the province.
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are permanent residence programs. This means that if you can successfully land a provincial nomination you can then submit an official application for Canadian permanent resident status.
Getting permanent resident status through a PNP is a multistage process. First, you have to apply for provincial nomination from the province. Then, if your provincial nomination is approved you have to submit a second application for Canadian permanent resident status.
Many, though not all, PNP streams are aligned with Canada’s Express Entry system. If you are nominated through one of these PNP streams, you will receive an additional 600 points added to your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, allowing you to submit your final PR application and have it processed very quickly (usually in less than six months).
Non-Express Entry PNPs usually take closer to two years to be processed, though it may be possible to secure a work permit while your application is in processing.

How did we choose the 5 best PNPs for Indians to immigrate to Canada?
There are around 80 active PNP streams, so it can be a bit complicated to figure out the best option for you. In order to choose the best options we made a few decisions:
- We looked at the best options for Indians who have no work experience or educational history in Canada. If you have Canadian work experience or education, you might qualify for another PNP stream or have another immigration option.
- We didn’t include any PNPs for businesspeople and entrepreneurs. There are PNP streams for those looking to launch a business in Canada, but these require you to have experience managing a business and upwards of CAD$100,000 to invest.
If you want to get a complete idea of which PNPs you might be eligible for, you can use our PNP Live Tracker Tool. Filter PNP streams by occupation, job offer requirements, and more!
The 5 best PNPs for Indians to immigrate to Canada

Express Entry profile required? Yes. You need an active Express Entry profile to be considered.
Specific occupation required? There is no set list of occupations for this program, but certain occupations are prioritized. Often Ontario invites candidates with experience in one of six priority tech occupations through this stream:

- Computer programmers and interactive media developers (NOC 2174)
- Computer engineers (NOC 2147)
- Web designers and developers (NOC 2175)
- Database analysts and data administrators (NOC 2172)

Unless you receive an invitation (Ontario calls this a Notification of Interest, or NOI) then you cannot apply to this PNP stream.

Job offer required? No.
Language requirements? For most applicants there are no minimum language requirements. However, the MPNP uses a points-based ranking system to rank candidates and you do receive points based on your language test scores. Most candidates will need approved language test scores in either English or French in order to have enough points to be competitive. There are a few situations where language tests are mandatory:
- For candidates with occupations at NOC Skill Level C or D: Must have language test scores showing a minimum ability (or higher) consistent with Canadian Language Benchmark of Level 4 (CLB 4).
- For candidates who are invited through a Strategic Recruitment Initiative: Must have language test scores showing a minimum ability (or higher) consistent with Canadian Language Benchmark of Level 5 (CLB 5).
Other requirements? You must show that you have a connection to Manitoba through one of these three ways:
- Friend or relative: You must have a friend or relative living in Manitoba who is either a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. This person must be willing to act as your “Manitoba supporter.” You receive points for this relative, a relative receives 200 points while a friend only receives 50 points. This difference in points between a relative and a friend means that a relative is a much stronger connection to have to the province. A relative may be a sibling, parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, niece/nephew, or first cousin.
- Work Experience or education: You have worked in Manitoba for at least six months or you completed a post-secondary study program in Manitoba.
- Strategic Recruitment Initiative: You attended a Manitoba Strategic Recruitment Initiative.
Refer to detailed program requirements here.
How to apply? If you meet the minimum requirements, you may submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) by creating an online account with Immigrate Manitoba. If you are eligible, your EOI will be scored out of 1,000 points. Periodically, Manitoba will invite candidates with high-scoring EOIs to apply for provincial nomination from the province. You can get an idea of how competitive your score may be by reviewing recent invitation thresholds (i.e. the number of points needed for an invitation to be issued) in recent draws.

Other ways for Indians to immigrate to Canada
If none of these PNP streams seem like a good fit for you, there may be other immigration options for you. Use our PNP Live Tracker tool to identify other PNP options for you, and have a look at our guide for Indians who want to immigrate to Canada through Express Entry to see if Express Entry could be a good fit.
If you would consider studying in Canada as an international student, this could also open up many permanent Canadian immigration options. To learn more, sign up for our free International Student Roadmap.
