Provincial Nominee Program

Provincial Nomination is a Canadian immigration program that allows individual provinces and territories to nominate candidates for permanent residence based on their specific economic and labor market needs. Each province or territory has its own unique streams and criteria aligned with its economic priorities. Successful nominees receive an additional set of points in the Express Entry system, increasing their chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada. This program enables provinces to actively participate in shaping their demographic and economic landscapes by selecting immigrants who can contribute to their local economies. The provincial governments in Canada work closely with the federal government to support various immigration programs. The provincial nominee programs can be availed by skilled workers, students, businessmen, low-skilled and semi-skilled workers. The application format, process and duration depends on the province you are applying for.
