Abstract

Canada’s immigration system plays an important role in addressing the country’s short- and long-term labour market needs, admitting many immigrants with high levels of education, official language proficiency and work experience. Across provinces and territories, distinct regional population dynamics and economic conditions create varying demands for immigration to address specific workforce gaps, demographic challenges and community development priorities. From 1996 to 2009, all provinces and territories (except for Quebec and Nunavut) signed Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) agreements (Picot et al., 2024). The PNP has two primary aims: (1) to better distribute economic immigrants across the country and (2) to address specific economic needs of the provinces and territories (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC], 2017). More economic immigrants entered through the PNP than any other single program in the late 2010s (Picot et al., 2023a).
