THE BASICS
What is a Provincial Nominee Program?
Provinces and territories can nominate people who meet their local labour needs, who then apply to IRCC for permanent residence. A nomination can add a large number of points to an Express Entry profile, or lead to a direct PR application.
- Who nominates
- The province or territory
- Who grants PR
- IRCC, after the nomination
- Often needed
- A job offer or a link to the province
- Express Entry link
- A nomination adds 600 CRS points
The two-step process
- 1
Get nominated
Apply to the province’s stream, often by expressing interest first.
- 2
Apply for PR
With a nomination in hand, you apply to IRCC for permanent residence.
- 3
Work toward landing
You may also be able to apply for a work permit while you wait, with a nomination.
Low Express Entry score?
A provincial nomination can be a way around a score that is too low for a general draw.
Express EntryNo job offer?
Some streams do not need one, especially for in-demand occupations or graduates. We look at those first.
Not sure which province?
We compare where your skills, language level and plans fit best, and what each province currently prioritizes.
