Provincial Nominee Program guide

A province-by-province hub for comparing nomination programs whose streams, priorities, intake rules and evidence requirements differ across Canada.

Overview

Who this pathway may be for

A province-by-province hub for comparing nomination programs whose streams, priorities, intake rules and evidence requirements differ across Canada. PathwayMatch treats this as a direction to investigate, not an eligibility decision.

Each participating province and territory manages distinct streams, selection priorities, intake schedules and documentary rules. A strong fit in one jurisdiction does not establish eligibility in another.

  • Applicants open to a specific province or territory
  • Express Entry candidates seeking nomination
  • Workers whose occupation aligns with regional priorities

Participating jurisdictions

Compare the program that matches your destination.

Open the relevant province or territory guide before comparing stream-level criteria. Quebec operates separate immigration selection programs, while Nunavut does not have a nominee program.
