To immigrate to Canada through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), you must have been nominated by a province or territory.

The first thing to do is to apply for the PNP of the province or territory where you want to settle. To be eligible for this program, you must have the skills, education and work experience necessary to establish yourself in Canada and to support yourself and your family.

Once the province or territory has approved your application, you will need to apply for permanent residence before the deadline. The province or territory will tell you if you need to apply through Express Entry or the regular application process:

The selection process and conditions for obtaining a certificate of nomination as a candidate from a province may vary from province to province. To find out what you need to do before you apply, visit the provincial or territorial website.
