Quick answer
How do provincial immigration programs work?
Provincial immigration programs let provinces and territories nominate candidates for permanent residence based on local labour market needs. Every province and territory except Quebec operates a Provincial Nominee Program. Streams target skilled workers, graduates, entrepreneurs and in-demand occupations. A nomination aligned with Express Entry adds 600 Comprehensive Ranking System points; Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada still decides the permanent residence application.
Quick summary
Provincial programs operate alongside federal selection. Each province sets its own streams, occupation lists and score thresholds, and many use an expression of interest pool. Enhanced streams link to Express Entry and add 600 Comprehensive Ranking System points; base streams are processed on paper and take longer. Candidates must intend to live and work in the nominating province. Streams open and close with limited notice, and allocations are capped annually, so eligibility must be confirmed when applying rather than in advance.

- What is the difference between a base and an enhanced nomination?
- An enhanced nomination is linked to an Express Entry profile and adds 600 Comprehensive Ranking System points. A base nomination is processed outside Express Entry on paper timelines.
- Can someone apply to more than one province?
- Applying to multiple provinces is possible where each stream's criteria are met, but each application must reflect a genuine intention to settle in that province.
