Provincial
Nomination
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.
