CPD Hours: 2    Valid until Feb 8, 2024

Choosing the right PNP program when EE is too far to reach

Target Audience:

This CPD course is for the Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs), Lawyers, Paralegals, law graduates and students.

Description:

This course comprehensively explores the Express Entry (EE) cut-off score trends and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) for potential immigrants to Canada. It begins with an introduction to typical EE scores, highlighting the differences between candidates with varying levels of Canadian education and experience, and discusses the feasibility of achieving the required points. Following this, there will be a demonstration of points calculators for PNPs, providing practical tools for attendees. The agenda then delves into PNP programs, distinguishing between those requiring a job offer and those not, while comparing mock client scores across provinces to identify preferred National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes. The session will also address the challenges of clients with vague aspirations, such as a willingness to do “anything” and go “anywhere.” Finally, the conclusion will broaden the discussion to alternative immigration pathways, including the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP), the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP), and the potential for Municipal Nominee Programs (MNPs) to emerge in 2023, followed by a Q&A session to clarify any remaining questions.
