Provincial Nomination Most provinces in Canada have an agreement with the Government of Canada that allows them to play a more direct role in selecting immigrants who wish to settle in that province. If you wish to immigrate to one of Canada's provinces as a Provincial Nominee, you must first apply to the province where you wish to settle. The province will consider your application based on their immigration needs and your genuine intention to settle there. Before applying to immigrate to Canada, Provincial Nominees must complete the provincial nomination process. Note: After you have been nominated by a province, you have to make a separate application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residence. A CIC officer will assess your application based on Canadian immigration regulations. Note : A bona fide offer of employment from a local employer is a requirement for nomination of skilled workers. Provincial Nominees are not assessed on the six selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program.
