How to Apply?

You can apply for the Canada Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) in two ways.

1. Express Entry System

Create an Express Entry profile online.
Show your interest in immigrating to a specific province or territory.
If you meet the criteria, the province or territory sends a “Notification of Interest (NOI)” to your account.
If nominated, you'll receive a nomination certificate to your account.
Submit the EOI (Expression of Interest) to the Express Entry stream.

2. Non- Express Entry System (paper-based application)

Choose a province that meets the requirements for eligibility.
Submit your Expression of Interest (EOI) via the non-Express Entry channel.
The province or territory's point system will be used to evaluate the application.
Upon selection, the applicants will receive a nomination letter.
After this, the candidates must submit a paper application for a Permanent Residency visa to the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada).
