Licensed Canadian immigration guidance
Every Canadian province and territory except Quebec and Nunavut operates at least one Provincial Nominee Program stream. A nomination adds a flat 600 points to a candidate's Express Entry CRS score — enough to place nearly any nominated candidate above recent draw cutoffs — while some provincial streams run entirely outside Express Entry with their own separate process.
A decade of files, decisions and outcomes across every major Canadian pathway.

Application timeline Sequence and requirements | |
|---|---|
| Step | What happens |
| 1. Province screening | Profile checked against all ten provincial streams, not just the applicant's current location |
| 2. Expression of interest | Submitted to the province, or drawn from an existing Express Entry pool depending on the stream |
| 3. Nomination certificate | Issued once the province approves the application |
| 4. CRS update / application | 600 points applied to an Express Entry profile (aligned streams), or a separate PR application filed (base streams) |
It depends on the stream. Some require a valid job offer from an employer in that province; others, like Ontario's Human Capital Priorities stream, nominate directly from a candidate's Express Entry profile with no offer required.
Often yes, though each stream has its own eligibility rules and some require a genuine intention to live specifically in that province — conflicts should be checked before submitting to more than one.
An aligned stream adds CRS points to an existing Express Entry profile. A base (non-aligned) stream, like the Atlantic Immigration Program, runs its own separate application process outside Express Entry entirely.
