Canada Invites 574 Foreigners for Permanent Residency

Canada recently invited 574 foreigners to apply for permanent residency through a program called the Provincial Nominee Program.

This program helps people who have the right skills and experience to live and work in a specific province in Canada.

The invitations were sent out on January 5, 2026, and the lowest score needed to be invited was 711.

This is part of Canada's Express Entry system, which helps skilled immigrants move to Canada.

The program looks at things like age, education, work experience, and language skills to decide who can come.

Canada also changed some rules about points for job offers in March 2025.

The Provincial Nominee Program is designed to help provinces and territories pick immigrants who can help their economy.
