PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAMS

Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target specific groups) and requirements. The province or territory will assess if you will meet their economic or labor market needs and those of Canada.

How you will apply depends on which Provincial Nominee Program stream you’re applying to. You might need to apply using the paper-based process or by the online process through Express Entry.

There are two ways to apply: You contact the province or territory and apply for a nomination under an Express Entry stream. If the province or territory agrees to nominate you, create an Express Entry profile (or update your profile if you already have one) and show you have been nominated. OR  You create an Express Entry profile and show the provinces and territories you’re interested in. If a province or territory sends you a “notification of interest” to your account, you contact them directly. You apply to their Express Entry stream: If you’re nominated, the province will offer it through your account, and you accept it electronically
