Provincial Nomination (PNP Nomination)

A provincial nomination linked to Express Entry adds exactly 600 CRS points, high enough to make an ITA all but guaranteed in the next round.

Example: 420 CRS from core/spouse/transferability + 600 nomination = 1,020 — far above any realistic CEC cut-off (~507-534 in 2026). This is why PNP routes suit candidates whose base score isn't yet competitive.
