PNP & Atlantic Immigration

OINP, Manitoba, New Brunswick, BC and the Atlantic Immigration Program — the province-level routes to PR.

When a CRS score is too low for a federal draw, a provincial nomination — worth 600 extra points — or the Atlantic Immigration Program is usually the realistic plan B. These threads walk through EOI points, designated employers, processing times, what happens after a nomination, and the honest trade-offs of committing to a province. Our team answers each one in plain English, based on what we see working for real applicants in Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
