The NBPNP usually looks for candidates who are between 22 and 55 years old, which matches what the federal immigration rules say. There is no strict age limit for every stream, but points are given based on age in the Express Entry-related streams and the Skilled Worker stream. The best points go to candidates aged 22 to 35. Older applicants can still apply but might get fewer points unless they have strong language skills, good work experience, or a job offer. It is a good idea to check the specific requirements for each stream.
