PNP invitations:

The single most valuable factor under the Express Entry system is the nomination from a Province in Canada. It offers 600 extra points to the successful candidates who receive the provincial nomination. It effectively ensures an ITA for Canada PR Visa in the successive invitation round in Express Entry.

 

In 2018, totally 10,802 candidates in Express Entry received an ITA due to provincial nomination. This was an increase over 8, 733 in 2017, as quoted by the CIC News. The figures in 2018 account for 12% of the ITAs offered in the year. This was consistent with the % of candidates in Express Entry who had a Provincial Nomination.

 

Intake of new PR Visa immigrants through PNPs aligned with Express Entry also increased in 2018. Increase in this category was witnessed by British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. The highest year-on-year increase for any Province was recorded by Ontario with 3, 082.
