Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Canada · for applicants from Nigeria

Verified · 22 June 2026

Provinces and territories nominate candidates who fit local labour needs. An Express Entry-aligned (enhanced) nomination adds 600 CRS points, effectively guaranteeing an ITA. Base (non-EE) streams are a separate paper-based PR application. Each province sets its own streams and criteria.

What a free chatbot cannot do

A free AI can tell you the rules. Rekoja does the harder part: we verify them against the official government source, prepare the actual application file, catch what gets people refused, and a specialist checks everything before you submit. We stand behind our work.

  • Rules verified against the official source, with the date
  • Document checklist built for your specific profile
  • The inconsistency check that catches what gets people refused
  • A human reviews your complete file before submission
