Provincial Nominee Programs
Under the Canadian Constitution, immigration is shared between the federal government and the provinces, with federal legislation prevailing. Provinces in Canada have the authority to implement their own provincial nominee programs. Each provincial government may have a direct role in choosing its own immigrants. The Provincial Nominee Programs allow provincial governments to choose immigrants according to the economic needs of the province. Each province establishes its own standards and processes by which it chooses its nominees and tries to nominate those candidates who would be most likely to settle effectively into the economic and social life of the region.
Persons who immigrate to Canada under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) have the skills, education and work experience needed to make an immediate economic contribution to the province or territory that nominates them. They are ready to establish themselves successfully as permanent residents in Canada.

For eligibility to apply under the Provincial Nominee Program, applicants must be nominated by a Canadian province or territory. The following provinces currently offer permanent residence visas for immigration to Canada in this form:
