Most provinces in Canada
have an agreement with the
Government of Canada that
allows them to play a more
direct role in selecting immigrants
who wish to settle in that
province. If you wish to immigrate
to one of Canada’s provinces
as a Provincial Nominee, you
must first apply to the province
where you wish to settle.
The province will consider
your application based on
their immigration needs and
your genuine intention to
settle there.
Before applying to immigrate
to Canada, Provincial Nominees
must complete the provincial
nomination process. Contact
the province for more information.
Note: After
you have been nominated by
a province, you have to make
a separate application to
Citizenship and Immigration
Canada (CIC) for permanent
residence. A CIC officer will
assess your application based
on Canadian immigration regulations.
Provincial Nominees
are not assessed on the six
selection factors of the Federal
Skilled Workers Program.
