The program brings in new Canadians with training and expertise in desired fields, like skilled trades and health care.
The new agreement will see a slow increase from the 9,750 skilled workers in 2022 to 18,000 annually by 2025.

“As we remain focused on addressing the acute labour market shortages and building a strong economy into the future, one thing remains certain: immigration is a key part of the solution,” said Federal Immigration Minister Sean Fraser. “As Canada’s flagship regional economic immigration program, the Provincial Nominee Program’s increasing growth will support the long-term well-being of communities in Ontario.
