Yes. Research by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Statistics Canada, Canada's provinces and territories, and academics show that immigrants who arrive through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) have strong labour market outcomes. They are often able to integrate quickly into the Canadian job market. The research shows that PNP immigrants tend to earn high wages, have high rates of labour force participation and employment, and low rates of unemployment.
Reasons for the success of PNP immigrants include:
- •PNP immigrants are nominated based on meeting the local labour market needs of Canada's provinces and territories.
- •They have high levels of human capital including strong language skills, education, work experience, and Canadian connections.
- •PNP selection criteria often screens for Canadian work experience, Canadian education, and pre-arranged employment in Canada.
