Canada’s four provinces, Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, and PEI released this week’s PNP draw results.

Four provinces sent invitations to potential candidates this week via their individual Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). These invites were sent out under the economic streams, which choose applicants according to a number of factors. Such as their professional expertise, educational background, and job history. Here’s a thorough analysis of the outcomes broken down by province.
