Canada's Provincial Nomination Programs are receiving immigrants faster and meeting their main objectives of attracting skilled workers. And, they are receiving candidates with qualifications that are needed in the provinces to promote its economic goals. These are the central findings of a recent federal government report.

The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada evaluation of how PNPs operated between 2010 and 2015 was released by Ottawa in May 2018. It found that the majority of candidates who were selected by a province, were able to successfully settle in the province. Successful settlement is largely defined as being able to finding jobs and earning average or above average wages.

Provincial nominees on average earn more than candidates who came to Canada through the Federal Skilled Worker Program, but lower than those arrive in the federal Canada Experience Class.

Candidates also reported finding work related to their qualifications or higher as their first employment in Canada. This highlights the power of the PNPs to nominate applicants who are suitable for their economic needs.
