Provincial nominees

Persons who immigrate to Canada under the Provincial Nominee Program have the skills, education and work experience needed to make an immediate economic contribution to the province or territory that nominates them. They have been assessed as being able to economically establish themselves successfully as permanent residents in Canada.

To apply under the Provincial Nominee Program, applicants must be nominated by a Canadian province or territory. Because the criteria for provincial nomination are determined by the individual provinces and territories, they can change without notice. Please check the website of the appropriate province or territory to find the most up-to-date information.

Before you apply, make sure you are familiar with the current application procedures. After you apply, make sure to visit this Web page again, so that you can follow the next steps.
