Are you planning to immigrate to Canada through Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)? Good news — there’s now an easier way to check all your eligibility at once using an online tool, saving you time and guesswork. CIC News
đź“Ś Why This Matters
Canada’s Express Entry system is one of the fastest ways to secure permanent residence, and getting a provincial nomination (PNP) can virtually guarantee an Invitation to Apply (ITA) because it adds 600 points to your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. CIC News
Until recently, checking eligibility for each enhanced PNP stream required manual research, navigating multiple PDFs, or even hiring consultants.
That’s why this new solution is a game changer.
🛠️ Use CanadaVisa+ to Check Your Eligibility
The CanadaVisa+ (CV+) tool lets you:
✔️ Check your eligibility for all Express Entry-aligned (enhanced) PNP streams at once
✔️ Do it in about 10 minutes
✔️ Get personalized insights on how to qualify if you aren’t currently eligible
👉 This means you can stop checking each province’s criteria one by one and get results instantly. CIC News
🧠Step-by-Step: How to Use CanadaVisa+
Here’s how to run your eligibility check:

4. Submit to View Your Results
After completing the form, enter your email to see your eligibility results for each enhanced PNP stream.
⚙️ What the Tool Shows You
Once your profile is processed, CanadaVisa+ will:
🔹 List all enhanced PNP streams you’re eligible for
🔹 Tell you which ones you’re not eligible for
🔹 Highlight requirements you’re missing (e.g., work experience, language score, job offer)
🔹 Suggest what steps you can take to improve your eligibility
This makes planning your immigration journey much more strategic. CIC News
💡 Tips if You’re Not Yet Eligible
If the tool shows you don’t currently qualify for any enhanced PNP stream:
- Improve language test scores (IELTS, CELPIP)
- Gain more work experience, especially in your field’s NOC category
- Target a specific province with lower minimum requirements
- Update your profile regularly — eligibility can change as you gain new qualifications
