Provincial nominees

A province or territory nominates. IRCC still decides permanent residence. A nomination is not a visa.

This site does not collect a UCI, an application number, or an upload.

On the official record

Official / RED VERIFIED

IRCC provincial nominees page is the federal door. The province or territory selects under its own program. IRCC then decides permanent residence. Quebec and Nunavut do not have PNPs.

An Express Entry nomination can add 600 CRS points. That is still Express Entry, plus a nomination. Non-Express Entry nominations use a different IRCC application.

Practice judgment

Practice judgment

Open streams change. Read the province landing before you treat a named stream as open. Ontario Workforce Priority is the current Ontario example on this site, not the older Human Capital Priorities label.

A nomination does not skip IRCC admissibility, completeness, or the eAPR if the file is in Express Entry.

Labelled judgment. Not the official rule. Not legal advice.
