Provincial Nominees

Free Online Assessment

    feature image

    The PNP program or Provincial Nominee Program identifies new immigrants that have greater skills, work experience, education and can offer a greater contribution to Canada’s economy. The Canadian government allows a series of provincial immigration authorities to handpick nominated professionals who can enter their local economy and job market quickly.

    If there is a direct need in the job market for someone of appropriate job experience or educational background, these nominees will be granted an Express or Non-Express Entry system. Each province will have its own highlighted groups which will vary based on the economic direction of the province, service and skill gaps at any given time. Certain groups will be selected based on the current fit and the Provincial Nominee Program will be the one of the ways to become a Permanent Resident.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What are the Provincial Nominee Programs?

      The Provincial Nominee Programs were established by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly CIC) to allow Canada's different provinces and territories to select individuals who indicate an interest in settling in a particular province/territory and who will be able to contribute to that province/territory's economic development. Most, but not all, provinces and territories of Canada participate in the Provincial Nominee Program.

    • Is Provincial Nomination a requirement for Canadian immigration?

      No. You can obtain a Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa without a provincial nomination. Fill out a free assessment to learn more about your Canadian immigration options.

    • Where and when does an application under the Provincial Nominee Program get submitted?

      An application under the Provincial Nominee Program is submitted to the appropriate provincial government office, before submitting an application for a Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa.

    • What criteria do most provinces look for in their Nominees?

      Most provinces are looking for individuals who will contribute to the province's economic growth, and are willing to settle in that province. Criteria that provinces take into consideration may include the following:
      Job offer in the province
      Education
      Work experience in critical industries
      English and/or French language skills
      Close relations in that province
      Ability to adapt to life in that province

    • Does receiving a Provincial Nomination guarantee a Canada Immigration Visa?

      No. IRCC must be satisfied that a Provincial Nominee meets statutory requirements — health, security and authenticity of documents — before issuing a Canada Immigration Visa.
