Want to move to Canada from UAE?
If yes, then you are not alone, there are thousands of people from UAE who wants to move to Canada from the UAE. They have been dreaming to begin a new life in Canada to transform their old lifestyle with high-quality living standards of Canada and modify their career with the multiple job opportunities present in the Canadian job market. Canadian people have a welcoming and kind nature towards the immigrants, making it one of the best countries. So, if you have a dream of immigrating to Canada from the UAE, Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) can be a game changer pathway option for you.
Why choose the PNP route?
Canada offers multiple immigration pathway options to achieve permanent residency, and among them PNP is one of the best and most renowned pathway option. The PNP program allows the provinces of Canada to nominate individuals on the basis of factors like skills, work experience, and their capability to contribute to the province’s economy.

For example- Let’s say, one of your friends named Karan, who is a healthcare professional from Dubai, has been facing issues receiving an ITA (invitation to apply) through the Express Entry due to his low CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score. However, after doing some research on other pathway options and he applied for the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program and received a nomination. After receiving nomination from a Canadian province, his CRS score increased automatically and he finally obtained permanent residency of Canada.
