To begin, an applicant must input their comprehensive ranking score (CRS) system into the Express Entry System, then apply for the selected PNP program.
A PNP applicant's details remain in the Express Entry system for at most a year or until the individual's nomination for PR is approved.
The processing time for a PNP application varies widely, with the longest being about 90 to 120 days, after which a candidate will get 600 more points to be added to their express entry score. With the 600 points, your status will be upgraded significantly, allowing you to be nominated for PR in the next PNP draw, typically every two weeks.

While a Provincial Nominee Program can have many different immigration pools, each program has at least one stream aligned with the Express Entry program, a federal government initiative.
An EE-aligned stream nomination under a PNP is known as an ‘enhanced nomination.' An enhanced PNP stream results in the following benefits:

• Your prospects of receiving a permanent residency invitation are much improved since you've received an extra 600 EE Comprehensive Ranking System points.
• Your application will be processed faster, on average, within six months
• PNP offers wider career opportunities. These programs are announced only when there is a huge market for someone's skills in Canada
• Some of the EE-related Provincial Nominee Programs have no requirement of prior (paid) work experience.

While the immigration procedure, in general, is perplexing, the PNP shouldn't be. You may take several steps to begin the application process, regardless of the province you seek to immigrate to.

• First step: Confirm your eligibility
• Second Step: Begin your application process
• Third Step: Verify the durations of the application process
• Fourth Step: Submit required documents
• Fifth Step: Prepare for your immigration to Canada or reapply, making the necessary corrections on your previous application.

Whichever province or territory in Canada you want to reside in, your immigration application will go through at least two phases as part of the PNP process: the provincial (or territorial) application stage and, following confirmation, the federal government submission stage. Whichever province you apply to, you will be required to undergo a medical examination and get police clearance before your Canadian permanent residency application can be processed.
There are two distinct kinds of applications to take into account:

I. Manual (paper-based) application

If you satisfy the eligibility criteria of the province or territory of your interest on a paper-based provincial application, you'll submit your application documents to the province for a non-Express Entry stream. Once chosen, you must submit a written application to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. A paper-based PNP application often takes longer to complete than an online one.

II. Express Entry applications (submitted online).

If you satisfy the eligibility criteria for the province (or territory) of your preference, you'll need to complete your express entry profile, then follow the procedures for applying to the province or territory's PNP program.
To apply for the PNP through the EE online system, you must either:
Get in touch with your selected province (or territory) and apply for their EE nomination.

OR

Create an online EE profile and indicate the jurisdictions (provinces and territories) you are interested in. If a Canadian jurisdiction sends you an NOI (Notification of Interest), you can get in touch with them directly and apply for their PNP program, as long as you meet their particular criteria.
In both instances, if you are nominated, the province will credit your account with 600 CRS points. After accepting the points awarded to your candidacy, you will have accumulated enough scores to be chosen in the next EE lottery and submit your online PR application to IRCC.
Bear in mind that a Licensed Canadian Immigration Consultant may evaluate your profile and determine which PNP program is most suited to you.

After the IRCC receives your application for permanent residence, you will get an AOR. This serves as proof of the creation of your application file. Additionally, you may be given a reference to an "Acknowledgement of Receipt date," which is the day on which your six months of planned processing starts.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan jurisdictions have the lowest IELTS requirements of any Canadian province.
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) procedure is a critical selection factor in most Canada's immigration processes. Immigration officials determine an applicant's English or French proficiency level depending on their language test score. The IELTS is an internationally recognized and approved measure of English language competence.
Saskatchewan accepts the candidates with low IELTS score necessity for its SINP (Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program). The SINP requires an IELTS score of at least a CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) score of 4. The MPNP (Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program) equally requires a low IELTS score of 4.
