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 your application
for immigration to Canada, provincial nominees must
complete the provincial nomination process. You can
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.
