What Are the Top 5 Provinces for Easy PR in Canada?
by Antony Thejewel

Canada is one of the most popular nations for immigration internationally, and it is possible to gain PR status in a variety of methods. The most preferred programs include the Express Entry System and the Provincial Nominee Programmes. Although obtaining Canadian permanent residency may appear protracted and arduous, choosing the appropriate province is very straightforward. In this blog, we will examine the five provinces with the most accessible pathways to obtaining permanent residency in Canada.
Ontario
Ontario is the most favoured province for immigrants due to its major cities, including Toronto and Ottawa, and its strong economy. The OINP contains numerous streams that focus on the skilled workers, graduates, and business professionals intending to come to Ontario.
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Programme (OINP)
There are specific categories in the OINP that coincide with the federal Express Entry system, and consequently, those candidates with a CRS score less than the cut-off for the general draw can obtain an invitation. Priority jobs include the Human Capital Priorities Stream, Skilled Trades Stream, and French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream, which aim at bringing highly skilled individuals to the province.
PR Eligibility and Process
In order to qualify for Canada PR through Ontario, you have to first register your intention of settling in the province of Ontario through the Express Entry Ontario profile. After getting nominated, you can then go for PR through federal immigration procedures; consequently, Ontario is perfect for individuals wishing to move to Canada.
British Columbia
British Columbia (BC) is another area with great vistas and a fast-rising technology industry that looks enticing to newcomers. The BC PNP has established its reputation for rapid processing time. It offers easy categories for jobs that are in demand in the province.
British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
The BC PNP includes numerous categories for skilled workers, such as Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC. The Tech Pilot, as a tier under BC PNP, it focuses on experienced tech workers in particular areas, making it less hard for the target experts to receive a nomination.
PR Eligibility and Process
The BC PNP has established specific requirements in terms of age, experience, education, and other credentials for a candidate to be nominated and subsequently apply for PR under express entry. Nomination leads to an extra 600 CRS points, which makes an applicant highly likely to be invited to apply for Canada PR.
Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan, with a largely agricultural economy and welcoming towns and communities, it provides one of the most accessible pathways to PR through the Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program (SINP). They notably recognise that the province has minimal CRS requirements, and the list of jobs deemed in demand in Canada is extremely large.
Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Programme (SINP)
The SINP has numerous streams, including the International Skilled Worker. It pertains to Saskatchewan Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand categories. This Occupation In-Demand stream is more enticing owing to the fact that candidates do not require a job offer and must have worked in occupations that appear in Saskatchewan’s in-demand occupations list.
PR Eligibility and Process
Those who qualify for the SINP can apply immediately through the province’s online portal for applicants. Once nominated, individuals become able to apply for PR through the federal immigration process. Saskatchewan has consequently demonstrated to be more accessible as compared to other Canadian provinces or territories in terms of getting PR.
Nova Scotia
The province has scored pretty well in quality of life and has the added bonus of affordable living for the majority of its immigrants. The Nova Scotia Nominee Program is reasonably accessible, especially for the candidates of the skilled migration.
Nova Scotia Nominee Programme (NSNP)
The NSNP contains numerous streams, such as the Nova Scotia Demand, Nova Scotia Experience, and Express Entry. These streams aim at reaching out to the applicants with the skills and experience that fulfil the labour market demands of the province. Furthermore, the Nova Scotia Labour Market Priorities is an immigration stream that presents applicants for immigration directly from the Express Entry pool based on the existing labour market need in Nova Scotia.
PR Eligibility and Process
The Nova Scotia requirement is consequently framed in a way that it is simple to satisfy even for candidates with low CRS scores. As soon as a person is nominated, he or she receives an option to apply for PR under the federal Express Entry system. Due to its special stance on immigration, the province is one of the most favoured by those looking to reside in Canada.
Alberta
Alberta, with a comparatively strong economy and active towns like Calgary and Edmonton, has a relatively obvious means to seek PR through the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP). The province favours competent personnel and in typically has low CRS cutoffs.
The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Programme (AINP)
The AINP comprises the Alberta Express Entry Stream, which enables the province to recruit persons directly from the Federal Express Entry pool. Choosing candidates that have lower CRS scores makes Alberta attractive to many candidates, hence, it is a desirable place for many aspirants. Furthermore, unlike some other provinces, there is no policy on employment offers, which exposes the post to more competent persons.
PR Eligibility and Process
If a candidate has been recommended by Alberta, he or she is granted an additional 600 CRS points and will have increased odds of being called to apply for PR. Due to the flexibility of AINP and the emphasis on talented people to apply, Alberta is among the most open provinces for simple PR in Canada.
Conclusion
Applying for PR in Canada may look laborious, but with proper information and preparedness, you can go through the procedure without much stress. Regardless of the path you choose whether it is the Express Entry Canada or a territorial or provincial program, there is success awaiting you in this magnificent and welcoming country.
