Get Permanent Residence (PR) in Canada || Apply Now: (Deadline Ongoing)

Canada encourages applications for permanent residence from people with abilities, education and work experience that will contribute to the Canadian economy.

The Provincial Nominee Class (PNC) allows provincial and territorial governments to choose immigrants according to the economic needs of the province or territory. Each province and territory:

• establishes its own standards and processes by which it chooses its nominees,
• tries to nominate those candidates who would be most likely to settle effectively into the economic and social life of the region.

You must apply to the PNC in two (2) steps:

1. You must first apply to the province or territory where you want to live and be nominated, and
2. After a province or territory nominates you, you must apply to IRCC for permanent residence. An IRCC officer will then assess your application based on Canadian immigration rules.

Applications for permanent residence under the PNC can be submitted by people who have been nominated by one of the following provinces or territories:

• Alberta
• British Columbia
• Manitoba
• New Brunswick
• Newfoundland and Labrador
• Northwest Territories
• Nova Scotia
• Ontario
• Prince Edward Island
• Saskatchewan
• The Yukon Territory

Before you can apply to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, you must first be nominated by a province or territory. Each province or territory has its own application and nomination procedures. However IRCC retains the authority to make the final decision on an application for permanent residence using existing selection and admissibility criteria, including security, criminal, and medical components for candidates who hold Provincial Nominee Certificates.

If you would like information on how to become nominated by a particular province or territory, or if you require further details regarding the PNC, contact the following provincial and territorial authorities:

• Alberta
• British Columbia
• Manitoba
• New Brunswick
• Newfoundland and Labrador
• Northwest Territories
• Nova Scotia
• Ontario
• Prince Edward Island
• Saskatchewan
• Yukon Territory

This application package is only for applicants in the PNC.

If you think you may qualify to apply under a different program, use the Come to Canada Tool to find out which immigration stream best suits your situation.

Check other classes to see if you satisfy their eligibility criteria.

Selection criteria, requirements and other information for applicants can sometimes change. Please note that:

• Applications will be processed according to the rules and regulations in effect at the time of the assessment. These may change at any time.
• Our website contains the latest news, selection criteria updates and applications links. Check periodically for updated information.
