Program overview
A pathway connected to a place
The Provincial Nominee Program connects participating provinces and territories with people whose skills and experience reflect regional needs.
Participating provinces and territories have their own streams and selection priorities. These may relate to workers, graduates, entrepreneurs or other provincial priorities.
Some streams are linked to Express Entry, while others follow a separate federal process. A provincial nomination and the federal permanent residence decision are distinct stages.
Every new chapter starts with a conversation.

Common questions
Questions you may be wondering about
Is the PNP one national program?
It is a framework of provincial and territorial programs. Stream criteria, selection priorities and availability differ.
Does nomination guarantee permanent residence?
No. A nomination is one stage of the process. IRCC makes the federal permanent residence decision.
