Provincial Nominee Program: Labour Market

Immigrants Dept: The estimate for 2012 is based mostly on immigration applications that have already been processed this year. It takes at least a year to process most applicants. About 40,000 PNP immigrants are expected to arrive in the current year, according to Winnipeg Free Press. More immigrants have been entering Canada under the PNP each year. In 2010, 36,000 people arrived in Canada under the program and tHE number of immigrants arriving in Canada under the Provincial Nominee Program continues to climb and will total from 42,000 to 45,000 next year, the federal government said. The PNP matches immigrants with specific labour-market needs, although there is also a family class for landed PNP immigrants to bring over family members. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
