Provincial Nominees ProgramWelcome to our provincial nominee (PNP) web page. Most provinces in Canada have an agreement with the Canadian Government that allows them to play a more direct role in selecting immigrants who wish to settle in that province. The Provincial Nominee Programs allows each province to nominate immigrants who will contribute to the particular labour and economic needs of that province. If you wish to apply under one of Canada's Provincial Nominee program, you must first submit an application to the province where you wish to settle. Each province is allowed to establish its own selection criteria and procedures to choose immigrants. However, even if a candidate is nominated by a province, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has the final decision making authority on admissibility. If you are nominated by a province, you will still be required to make a separate application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residence. It should be noted that Provincial Nominees are not assessed on the selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program. At present, the following Canadian provinces have a Provincial Nominee Program:
