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.
