Canadian provinces and territories have until November 17 to request that paper-based PNP applications be put on hold if a candidate no longer has a valid job offer.
Certain Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applicants who lost their job due to coronavirus will have until 2021 to get a new job and not lose their nomination.
Between September 17 and November 17, provincial and territorial jurisdictions can request for paper-based PNP applications to be placed on hold if applicants lost their job offer as a result of COVID-19. Eligible applications must have been received before March 18, 2020.
Canada will hold these applications until March 17, 2021 or until the applicant gets a new job offer and a confirmation from the province or territory that it still supports the nomination, whichever comes first.
The provinces and territories are responsible for advising the applicant that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will put their PNP application on hold.
IRCC will contact the applicant by email to provide instructions on how to submit additional documentation after the province or territory has sent in the request. Applicants should request that their application be put on hold through the province that is supporting their nomination. People who try to contact IRCC to request that their application be put on hold will be redirected to the nominating province or territory.
