Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

More than 80 provincial streams, each with its own labour needs. A provincial nomination, then the federal permanent residence application.

Provincial + federal 9 to 18 months Nomination required Province, then IRCC

The provincial nominee programs allow each province and territory, except Quebec and Nunavut, to nominate people who wish to settle on its territory. Each program includes at least one stream tied to Express Entry.

A two-step pathway

Step 1 - the nomination. You choose the province where you want to live and you file an application there. It is reviewed against that province immigration needs and your genuine intention to settle there.

Step 2 - permanent residence. Once nominated, you file your application with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, which assesses it under federal law.

More than 80 streams

Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories: each jurisdiction publishes its own criteria, its targeted occupations and its rounds of invitations. That is where the choice is made - a profile set aside by one province sometimes goes through without difficulty in another.

How we help

We compare your profile against the open streams, we follow the provincial rounds of invitations, and we carry both steps - the nomination, then the federal application - without leaving you stranded in between.
