Every province and territory operates its own nomination streams, each with different criteria and timelines.
A Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows a Canadian province or territory to nominate candidates who meet its specific labour market or economic needs for permanent residence.
A PNP pathway may benefit candidates who do not yet score high enough for Express Entry on its own, who have a job offer in a specific province, or who have ties, education, or work experience connected to a particular region of Canada.
Also called “enhanced” streams. A provincial nomination adds 600 points to your Express Entry profile, placing most candidates at the top of the pool for the next federal draw.
Also called “base” streams. These operate outside the Express Entry system with their own paper or online application process and processing times.
We review your profile against the criteria of the provinces most likely to be a fit, whether that is based on occupation demand, a job offer, prior study, or family and community ties.
Each province has its own forms, evidence requirements, and expression-of-interest system. We prepare and manage your provincial application from expression of interest through to nomination certificate.
A provincial nomination is not permanent residence itself — it is a strong step toward it. We guide you through the next stage, whether that means applying through Express Entry with your added points or submitting a direct application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
