Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) in Canada: how nomination works, province by province

By Alex Francisco Updated Oct 11, 2026 Figures checked Oct 11, 2026 20 min read

What is the Provincial Nominee Program and how does a PNP nomination work?

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) lets 11 Canadian provinces and territories nominate people with the skills, education and work experience their economies need for permanent residence. A nomination through an Express Entry stream adds 600 points to a Comprehensive Ranking System score, while a base nomination leads to a direct application to IRCC. Quebec and Nunavut have no nominee program, and each province sets its own streams, fees and selection draws.

Eleven provinces and territories run a nominee program; IRCC lists Quebec and Nunavut as having none, and Quebec selects its own immigrants.
There are 2 ways to turn a nomination into permanent residence: the Express Entry process and the non-Express Entry process, and the province says which one applies.
A nomination accepted in an Express Entry profile adds 600 additional points, the maximum additional points available, and it can be received only once.
After an Express Entry invitation the permanent residence application is due within 60 calendar days; a nomination must be accepted or rejected within 30 calendar days.
Provincial application fees differ widely: no fee in Newfoundland and Labrador, $250 in New Brunswick, $500 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, $1,000 in Nova Scotia, $1,500 in Alberta and $1,750 in British Columbia.
IRCC makes the final decision and charges its own fees: $990 to process an economic application plus the $600 right of permanent residence fee for the principal applicant.

The Provincial Nominee Program is not one program. It is eleven separate ones that share a federal back end: each province or territory decides whom it wants, and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) decides whether that person becomes a permanent resident. That split is the source of most confusion about PNP Canada rules, from why a nomination is worth 600 points to why two people nominated in the same month can wait very different lengths of time. This guide explains the shared federal rules first, then goes through every province and territory using figures copied from the official government pages on the dates shown under each table. It explains the rules; it is not immigration advice, and the official provincial page is the authority on whether a stream is open on any given day.

What is the Provincial Nominee Program?

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) lets provinces and territories nominate people who have the skills, education and work experience to help their economy, who want to live in that province or territory, and who want to become permanent residents of Canada. IRCC describes it as a program for workers, with streams that may target students, business people, skilled workers and semi-skilled workers.

Two points define how it works:

Each province and territory sets its own requirements. IRCC states that each one also sets the number of people it can nominate each year. Provinces describe that number as an annual allocation from the federal government, and several publish how much of it is left. A “stream” is IRCC’s word for a provincial immigration program that targets a certain group.
A nomination is not permanent residence. The province issues the nomination; IRCC processes the permanent residence application, runs the medical, security and background checks and makes the final decision.

A nominee is expected to settle in the province that chose them. IRCC puts it this way on its application pages: the province that nominated a person has chosen them to bring their skills to that province to live and work. Among the things applicants must tell IRCC about during processing is a change of plan about living in the nominating province or territory.

Which provinces and territories have a PNP?

Eleven jurisdictions run a nominee program, and two do not. This is IRCC’s own list.

Provinces and territories with and without a provincial nominee program

How to read this table: The list is the one IRCC publishes on its Provincial Nominee Program page. Quebec and Nunavut are shown separately there as jurisdictions without a program.

Province or territory	Runs a provincial nominee program
Alberta	Yes
British Columbia	Yes
Manitoba	Yes
New Brunswick	Yes
Newfoundland and Labrador	Yes
Northwest Territories	Yes
Nova Scotia	Yes
Ontario	Yes
Prince Edward Island	Yes
Saskatchewan	Yes
Yukon	Yes
Quebec	No - Quebec selects its own immigrants
Nunavut	No - no territorial program

The comparison below covers all eleven programs, using official provincial and territorial sources read on October 11, 2026. It shows the program’s formal name, the provincial application fee, whether candidates enter through an expression-of-interest (EOI) system, whether the program has an Express Entry option, and where the official site is.

Provincial nominee programs compared: fee, expression of interest and official site

How to read this table: The fee is the province's own charge for a nomination application and is separate from IRCC's permanent residence fees. Entrepreneur and business streams usually cost more than the worker fee shown; the provincial sections below list them where the province publishes them. Nova Scotia's row gives only its fees, which come from the provincial fee regulation.

Three patterns stand out. First, an expression of interest is now the normal front door: each of the ten programs whose selection process is shown uses one for at least part of its intake, which means meeting the criteria of a stream is no longer enough to apply. Second, each of those ten has some form of Express Entry option alongside its base streams. Third, the fee says little about difficulty: Newfoundland and Labrador charges nothing and British Columbia charges $1,750, but both invite only a share of the people in their pools. The PNP navigator narrows the list by job offer, work experience and province.

How does a provincial nomination work?

There are 2 ways to apply for permanent residence through the PNP, and IRCC says the province or territory tells each person which one they must use. Provinces usually call the first kind an Express Entry, enhanced or aligned stream and the second a base stream; IRCC’s names are the Express Entry process and the non-Express Entry process.

Base streams and Express Entry-aligned streams: the two federal processes

How to read this table: The stream a person is nominated under decides the process. A nomination certificate lists the stream, and the province can confirm it.

IRCC process	What provinces call it	Who it is for	What the nomination does	When the permanent residence application is made
Express Entry process	Express Entry-aligned stream (also called an enhanced stream)	People who qualify for both the province or territory's PNP stream and one of the 3 federal programs managed through Express Entry: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program or the Canadian Experience Class	The nomination is confirmed electronically in the Express Entry profile and adds 600 additional points, the maximum additional points available	Only after IRCC sends an invitation to apply; the online application is due within 60 calendar days of the invitation
Non-Express Entry process	Base stream	People who qualify for the province or territory's PNP stream but do not qualify for a federal program under Express Entry	No Express Entry profile and no points: the nomination confirmation is a required document in the permanent residence application	Directly, once nominated, online through the Permanent Residence (PR) Portal; no invitation round

The practical difference is what has to be true about the candidate. An Express Entry-aligned stream needs two sets of eligibility at once: the province’s stream criteria and the criteria of one of the 3 federal programs managed through Express Entry, which are the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class. A base stream needs only the province’s criteria, which is why base streams can take people whose occupation or language level does not fit a federal program. Language results are read in Canadian Language Benchmarks in both cases, and the IELTS to CLB conversion shows how test scores map to them.

The Express Entry process, step by step

Provincial nomination through Express Entry: IRCC's steps

How to read this table: A candidate can start from either end: apply to the province first, or create an Express Entry profile first and let provinces find it.

Step	What happens	Rule to know
1. Check eligibility	Qualify for the PNP of the province or territory and for 1 of the 3 programs managed through Express Entry	Both sets of requirements must be met before applying through Express Entry
2. Get a nomination	Apply to the province or territory directly, or create an Express Entry profile and select the provinces and territories of interest	A province or territory that finds a profile in the pool can send a notification of interest; that message is not a nomination and does not guarantee one
3. Have the nomination confirmed	Give the province or territory the Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code so it can confirm the nomination with IRCC electronically	A message then appears in the account asking the candidate to accept or reject the nomination
4. Accept the nomination	Choose accept or not accept within 30 calendar days	On acceptance IRCC awards 600 additional points and puts a PDF letter confirming the nomination in the account
5. Receive an invitation and apply	Wait for an invitation to apply for permanent residence, then apply online	The application is due within 60 calendar days; an invitation that is neither used nor declined expires and the profile is removed from the pool

Provinces and territories can search the Express Entry pool for candidates. A profile becomes visible to them when the candidate selects, under Nomination and selection, either a specific province or territory or “all provinces and territories”. An interested province sends a “notification of interest” to the account. IRCC is direct about what that message is worth: it is not a nomination and does not guarantee one. The candidate still has to review that province’s stream and apply to it.

Once a province decides to nominate, it confirms the nomination with IRCC electronically, using the profile number and job seeker validation code the candidate gives it. The candidate then has 30 calendar days to accept or reject the nomination in the account.

The non-Express Entry process, step by step

Provincial nomination through a base stream: IRCC's steps

How to read this table: There is no points score and no invitation round in this process. The nomination confirmation from the province is one of the documents in the application.

Step	What happens	Rule to know
1. Get nominated	Choose the province or territory and apply for a nomination under one of its non-Express Entry streams	The province reviews its immigration needs, whether the stream's minimum requirements are met and whether the person really plans to live there
2. Get the documents ready	Fill out the forms in the portal, plus the Document Checklist (IMM 0199) and Schedule 4 for provincial nominees (Schedule 4A for business nominees)	Includes the nomination confirmation, passports, civil status documents and police certificates
3. Apply for permanent residence	Apply online through the Permanent Residence (PR) Portal and pay the fees	An application without the full fees is returned; an incomplete application is rejected and has to be re-submitted
4. Biometrics and medical exam	Give fingerprints and a photo after IRCC's letter, and complete an immigration medical exam	Biometrics apply to people aged 14 to 79 and are due within 30 days of the date on the letter; family members need a medical exam even if they are not coming to Canada
5. Decision	IRCC decides on program eligibility, funds to support the family on arrival and admissibility (medical exam, police certificate, other background information)	On approval the right of permanent residence fee is paid if it has not been already, and IRCC issues the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and, where needed, a permanent resident visa

What are the 600 CRS points for a nomination worth?

A nomination accepted in an Express Entry profile adds 600 additional points to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. To see why that settles the matter, compare it with the rest of the scale: the CRS has a maximum of 1,200 points, and a single candidate with no spouse can earn at most 500 of them from the core human capital factors such as age, education, language and Canadian work experience. The nomination alone is worth more than every core factor combined.

Rules for the 600 additional points for a provincial nomination

How to read this table: These rules apply only to nominations made through a stream that uses Express Entry. A base-stream nomination carries no points because that process has no ranking.

Rule	What IRCC says
Points for a nomination	600 additional points, awarded when the nomination is accepted in the Express Entry profile
Ceiling on additional points	600 is the maximum additional points a candidate can have
Other additional points	A candidate who also has additional points for a job offer or study in Canada gets only the 600 points for the nomination
Only once	The 600 additional points can be received only once; a candidate who already has 600 additional points gets no more for a nomination
One nomination at a time	A candidate can receive more than 1 notification of interest at a time but can hold only 1 nomination at a time; to be nominated by a different province the current nomination offer must be rejected
Rejecting or ignoring a nomination	The candidate is not eligible for the PNP unless another province or territory nominates them, but stays in the pool while eligible for an Express Entry program

The points explain a figure that often alarms people reading Express Entry results. IRCC holds separate rounds of invitations for Provincial Nominee Program candidates, and their cut-offs look far higher than those of other rounds. The round held on September 28, 2026 invited 733 candidates with a minimum CRS score of 725. Take away the nomination and that cut-off corresponds to a score of 125 before the nomination was added. The high number reflects the 600 points, not a higher bar for the candidate. Each round, including the provincial nominee ones, is listed on the Express Entry draws page, and the CRS calculator shows a score with and without a nomination.

Two limits are easy to miss. The 600 points can be received only once, so a second nomination adds nothing. And because 600 is the ceiling for all additional points together, a nominee who already had additional points for a job offer or for study in Canada does not stack them on top.

What are the federal steps after a nomination?

Whichever process applies, the federal stage has the same building blocks: a complete online application, fees, biometrics, a medical exam, police certificates and a decision on eligibility and admissibility.

What IRCC asks for and checks after a provincial nomination

How to read this table: Taken from IRCC's non-Express Entry application pages; an Express Entry application asks for the same core documents through the online profile.

Requirement	Rule
Nomination confirmation	The approval letter or other official notice from the nominating province or territory
Police certificates	From every country except Canada where the person spent 6 months in a row or more since the age of 18
Photos	One photo per person, taken within the last 12 months
Common-law partners	Statutory Declaration of Common-law Union (IMM 5409) plus evidence of at least 12 consecutive months of cohabitation
Biometrics	Fingerprints and photo for applicants aged 14 to 79, for every permanent residence application, within 30 days of the date on IRCC's letter
Medical exam	Required for the applicant and family members, including family members who are not coming to Canada
Funds	IRCC's decision considers whether the applicant has the funds to support themselves and their family on arrival
Truthfulness	An untruthful application can be refused, the applicant found inadmissible and barred from applying for permanent resident status for up to 5 years

The order of events for a base-stream nominee is: apply through the Permanent Residence Portal, receive an acknowledgement of receipt with an application number, give biometrics within 30 days of the date on IRCC’s letter, complete the medical exam, and wait for the decision. For an Express Entry nominee the application window is tighter. Once invited, the candidate has 60 calendar days to apply online; an invitation that is neither used nor declined expires, and IRCC removes the profile from the pool.

IRCC also asks invited candidates to recalculate their score if their situation changed. A candidate who no longer has the provincial nomination, or whose language test results have expired, and whose new score is below the lowest score in the round, should decline the invitation according to IRCC, which may otherwise refuse the application and keep the fee.

If the application is approved, IRCC asks for the passport or a copy of it, collects the right of permanent residence fee if it has not been paid, and issues a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and, for people from countries that need one, a permanent resident visa. The COPR cannot be extended, so it has to be used before it expires.

After nomination: work permits, changes to report and the PR card

How to read this table: A nominee's obligations to IRCC continue until the permanent residence decision is made.

Topic	Rule
Working while the application is processed	A provincial nomination is not permission to work in Canada; a work permit is still needed to work while the permanent residence application is processed
Expiring work permit	A nominee already working in Canada whose permit is about to expire may be eligible for a bridging open work permit
Changes IRCC must be told about	A withdrawn nomination, no longer planning to live in the nominating province or territory, a change in family composition, a new address or a new representative
Permanent resident card	Mailed to a Canadian address after landing; an address not given at landing must be provided through the online tool within 180 days or the card is cancelled
Newcomer services	From April 1, 2026, economic class permanent residents can use IRCC-funded newcomer services only for a limited time

The work permit point matters most to people already in Canada. A nomination does not extend a work permit. A nominee whose permit is about to expire may be eligible for a bridging open work permit once the permanent residence application is in. After landing, the first PR card is mailed without a separate application; renewals later follow the PR card renewal process, and a new permanent resident can use the confirmation document to complete the SIN application steps.

How much does the PNP cost?

A nominee pays twice: once to the province for the nomination application, and once to IRCC for permanent residence. The provincial fee is in the comparison table above. The federal fees for economic immigration, which is the category provincial nominees fall under, are the same for every province.

Federal fee	Amount	Who pays it
Processing fee, principal applicant	$990	The nominee
Processing fee, spouse or common-law partner	$990	An accompanying spouse or partner
Right of permanent residence fee	$600	The principal applicant and an accompanying spouse or partner, each
Processing fee with the right of permanent residence fee	$1,590	The principal applicant, when both are paid together
Dependent child	$270	Each accompanying dependent child
Biometrics	$85 per person, $170 for a family applying together	Applicants aged 14 to 79

IRCC returns an application that arrives without the full fees. The right of permanent residence fee is due when the application is approved, though it can be paid up front with the processing fee to avoid a delay. Third-party costs come on top: medical exams, police certificates, language tests and, for some streams, an educational credential assessment. The Canada PR fees page lists every federal fee and the refund rules, and the settlement funds checker covers the money IRCC expects some economic applicants to show.

As an illustration of the two layers together, a single applicant nominated under an Alberta worker stream pays the province $1,635 for the Worker Expression of Interest and the application, then IRCC $1,590 for processing and the right of permanent residence fee, before biometrics and third-party costs.

What are PNP draws?

“PNP draws” refers to two separate things, and mixing them up leads to misreading both.

Provincial draws select people from a province’s expression-of-interest pool and invite them to apply for a nomination. Each province runs its own: Alberta ranks Worker Expressions of Interest on a 100-point grid, Manitoba issues Letters of Advice to Apply, New Brunswick holds invitation rounds by stream, and the Northwest Territories invites employers of the highest-ranked candidates. Scores from one province’s grid mean nothing in another’s, and none of them is a CRS score.

Federal Provincial Nominee Program rounds are Express Entry rounds of invitations held by IRCC for candidates who already have a nomination in their profile. These are the rounds with cut-offs above 600.

The latest provincial results recorded for this guide:

Alberta: the most recent draw listed was on October 7, 2026. Alberta’s processing page lists 84 draws and at least 13,559 invitations in 2026 (six small draws are published only as “less than 10”), against a 2026 allocation of 6,603 nominations.
Manitoba: EOI draw #281 on October 8, 2026 issued 340 Letters of Advice to Apply, 103 of them to candidates with a valid Express Entry profile.
New Brunswick: the latest rounds listed ran from September 11 to 18, 2026, with 197 invitations under the Skilled Worker stream, 102 under the Express Entry stream and 251 under the Strategic Initiative.
Ontario: no invitations under the new Ontario Workforce Priority stream were listed when the page was checked on October 11, 2026; the last invitations on ontario.ca are dated April 30, 2026.
Saskatchewan: the EOI page says there are no scheduled EOI draws; the last EOI selection published was on September 12, 2024.
Northwest Territories: the next Expression of Interest draw is to be held in early 2027.
Yukon: the 2026 Expression of Interest intakes ran from January 19 to 30 and from July 6 to 17.

Dedicated pages track the busiest programs: OINP draws for Ontario, the Alberta PNP (AAIP) guide for every 2026 Alberta draw, and the Manitoba PNP (MPNP) guide for EOI draw scores.

Provincial nominee programs by province and territory

Each section below gives the program’s structure and its current streams as the province publishes them. Stream status is the status recorded on the date printed under each table; a stream marked open can pause without notice when a province runs short of nominations late in the year.

Alberta: Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)

The AAIP runs 4 streams for workers and 4 for entrepreneurs. Workers submit a Worker Expression of Interest, which has cost $135 since April 7, 2026 and stays in the pool for 12 months, and are invited by stream or pathway on their score and on provincial priorities. The application fee for a worker stream is $1,500. Entrepreneur streams use a separate Entrepreneur Expression of Interest at $200 and a $3,500 Business Application fee; the Farm Stream takes applications directly. Only the Alberta Express Entry Stream uses IRCC’s Express Entry system, and it asks for a CRS score of 300 or more.

Alberta Advantage Immigration Program streams

How to read this table: Job offer shows whether the stream requires one. The Alberta Express Entry Stream contains several pathways with their own rules, including the Dedicated Health Care, Accelerated Tech and Law Enforcement pathways.

Stream	Who it is for	Job offer	Status
Alberta Opportunity Stream	Temporary foreign workers already working full-time in Alberta with a full-time job offer from an Alberta employer in an eligible occupation (positive LMIA or an accepted LMIA-exempt work permit).	yes	open

British Columbia: BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)

The BC PNP has two main pathways: Skills Immigration for workers and Entrepreneur Immigration. Skills Immigration works through a free, scored registration followed by targeted invitations to apply, and the application fee has been $1,750 since January 22, 2026. The Skilled Worker and Health Authority streams both carry an Express Entry BC option for candidates already in the federal pool, and Health Authority applicants who meet every requirement apply directly without registering. Entrepreneur Immigration charges $300 to register and $3,500 to apply. British Columbia confirmed in its April 23, 2026 update that the Entry Level and Semi Skilled stream is closed.

Manitoba: Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

The MPNP has three streams, each with its own pathways: Skilled Worker, International Education and Business Investor. Skilled Worker and International Education candidates create an Expression of Interest in MPNP Online, which is free and valid for one year, and wait for a Letter of Advice to Apply from a draw. The full application is then due within 60 days and carries a non-refundable $500 fee. The Business Investor Stream and the International Student Entrepreneur Pilot each charge $2,500.

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program streams and pathways

How to read this table: Selection shows how each pathway moves from an Expression of Interest to an invitation. A connection to Manitoba is central to the Skilled Worker Overseas pathway.

Stream	Pathway	Who it is for	Job offer	How candidates are selected

New Brunswick: New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)

New Brunswick lists four streams and two pilot programs. Every route starts with a free expression of interest that stays valid for 365 days, and Immigration New Brunswick invites candidates according to labour market needs and its remaining allocation. The nomination application fee is $250, or $2,000 for the Business Immigration stream. Two standing restrictions shape who is invited in 2026: since February 3, 2026 expressions of interest from the accommodation and food services sector are not considered under the Skilled Worker and Express Entry streams, and since May 4, 2026 new invitations under the New Brunswick Experience pathway are limited to health care, education and construction occupations.

New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program streams and pilots

How to read this table: The fee is the nomination application fee paid after an invitation. A dash means the province's page for that pilot states no candidate fee.

Type	Stream or pilot	Who it is for	Application fee	Status

The requirements by stream, the restricted occupation list and the 2026 invitation rounds are in the New Brunswick PNP guide. New Brunswick also takes part in the Atlantic Immigration Program, which is a separate federal program with its own candidate pool.

Newfoundland and Labrador: Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)

Newfoundland and Labrador moved all of its economic immigration to a two-stage Expression of Interest model on February 19, 2025. Candidates submit an EOI, the province reviews it against published priorities and issues Invitations to Apply in batches, and an EOI that is not selected expires after 12 months. There is no application fee for the NLPNP. Invited candidates currently have 30 days to file a full application, a window the province has temporarily reduced from 60.

Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program categories

How to read this table: The Express Entry Skilled Worker Category is the one category that uses IRCC's Express Entry system.

Northwest Territories: Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)

The NTNP has three application streams: Employer-Driven, Francophone and Business. The Employer-Driven Stream begins with the employer, who registers in the program’s online portal free of charge; the worker then completes an Expression of Interest that is scored on human capital, connections to the territory’s labour market and adaptability. Employers of the highest-ranked candidates are invited to apply in draws, and the next draw is to be held in early 2027. The Business Stream starts with an online account and a non-refundable $2,800 fee. The territory publishes no application fee amount for the Employer-Driven Stream.

Northwest Territories Nominee Program streams

How to read this table: Read on the territory's official pages on October 11, 2026. The Employer-Driven Stream is the only one the territory describes as using the Expression of Interest ranking.

Stream	Who it is for	How it starts
Employer-Driven Stream	Workers with a job offer from a Northwest Territories employer; the employer registers in the portal and applies on the worker's behalf. Categories: Skilled Worker, Entry Level/Semi-Skilled Occupations and NWT Express Entry	Expression of Interest scored on human capital factors, connections to the NWT labour market and adaptability; employers of the highest-ranked candidates are invited in draws through the year, and the next draw is to be held in early 2027
Francophone Stream	Qualified candidates who speak both French and English and have a valid job offer from a Northwest Territories employer; a work permit is not required to apply	The territory describes the Expression of Interest ranking for the Employer-Driven Stream only
Business Stream	People coming to open, purchase or invest in a business in the Northwest Territories	Starts with an online account and a non-refundable $2,800 fee

Nova Scotia: Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)

Nova Scotia sets its nominee fees by regulation. The provincial fee schedule, as amended effective September 1, 2026, charges $1,000 for an application to a worker stream of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program and $2,000 for an application to an entrepreneur stream. The province publishes its streams and its selection process on its own immigration site, liveinnovascotia.com, which is where IRCC sends applicants. Those details are set out in the Nova Scotia PNP guide and are not repeated here.

Ontario: Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

Ontario rebuilt its program in 2026. Regulation changes in force on June 25, 2026 removed the 8 former streams and created a single Ontario Workforce Priority stream, whose expression-of-interest portal opened on August 4, 2026. The employer first submits the job offer, the candidate registers an expression of interest, and the OINP invites candidates on points. Registering is free. The application fee is $1,500 when the job offer is outside the Greater Toronto Area and $2,000 when it is inside. Applicants with a job offer in a TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 occupation, and self-employed physicians, can ask to be nominated through Express Entry.

Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program streams: one open, eight closed

How to read this table: The closed streams are kept in the table because ontario.ca still lists them and many older guides still describe them as available.

Stream	Who it is for	Status	Note
Ontario Workforce Priority stream	Foreign workers with a full-time, permanent job offer from an eligible Ontario employer in any TEER 0-5 occupation, plus self-employed physicians who can bill OHIP (no job offer needed).	open	EOI portal opened August 4, 2026.

Prince Edward Island: Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)

Prince Edward Island’s Workforce guide, in its January 2026 edition, describes an Expression of Interest system: candidates create a profile, choose a stream and wait for an Invitation to Apply, with priority given to people with the greatest potential to become economically established on the Island. An invited candidate submits the Workforce application with a $300 fee. The table lists the pathways that guide covers. It does not show which are taking invitations at the moment, because that information sits on provincial web pages that could not be read on the check date.

Saskatchewan: Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

The SINP is mostly employer-driven. Job-offer categories need an approved Employer Position Assessment and, for priority and non-capped sectors, intake is continuous through the year. Only the Occupation In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry sub-categories start with an Expression of Interest, and no EOI draws are scheduled. The application fee is $500; since April 1, 2026 it also applies to skilled workers with job offers, who previously paid nothing. Saskatchewan permanently closed its Entrepreneur and Farm categories on March 27, 2025.

Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program categories

How to read this table: Unknown status means the sub-category needs an EOI invitation and the province has no draws scheduled. Workers in capped sectors can apply only in scheduled intake windows.

Category	Who it is for	Job offer	Status	Note

Yukon: Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)

The Yukon Nominee Program is driven entirely by employers. Foreign nationals cannot apply: the employer submits one application for each worker, after advertising the job in Canada for at least 4 weeks. The worker needs a full-time, year-round job offer, and the stream is set by the occupation’s TEER category. Employers first submit an Expression of Interest during a set intake, and the highest-ranking submissions are invited to apply. The 2026 intakes ran from January 19 to 30 and from July 6 to 17. The territory’s program pages state no application fee amount, and they bar employers from charging the worker any fees for the application. A nominee has 6 months from approval to apply to IRCC for permanent residence.

Yukon Nominee Program streams and the Yukon Business Nominee Program

How to read this table: Read on yukon.ca on October 11, 2026. The stream follows the job offer's TEER category; the Yukon Business Nominee Program is a separate route for entrepreneurs.

Stream	Who it is for	Main requirements
Critical Impact Worker	Entry-level jobs in TEER 4 or 5 occupations	At least 6 months of relevant work experience, Canadian Language Benchmark 4 and a high school diploma
Skilled Worker	Management positions and jobs that need more education, in TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 occupations	At least 12 months of relevant work experience; Canadian Language Benchmark 5 for TEER 2 and 3 jobs and 6 for TEER 0 and 1 jobs; a high school diploma
Express Entry	Foreign nationals accepted into IRCC's Express Entry pool, for TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 jobs	A valid Express Entry profile and at least 6 months of relevant work experience; Canadian Language Benchmark 5 for TEER 2 and 3 jobs and 7 for TEER 0 and 1 jobs
Yukon Business Nominee Program	Foreign entrepreneurs who want to run their own business in the Yukon; a separate program from the worker streams	A minimum score of 65 points on the assessment grid; qualifying applications enter a candidate pool for 6 months

Quebec and Nunavut: no provincial nominee program

IRCC states that Nunavut and Quebec do not have provincial nominee programs.

Quebec and Nunavut: what applies instead of a nominee program

How to read this table: Quebec's fees are set by the Quebec government and adjusted every January 1.

Jurisdiction	What applies instead	Selection fee	Official site
Quebec	Quebec selects its own economic immigrants. Skilled workers apply through the Programme de sélection des travailleurs qualifiés (PSTQ), which replaced the Regular Skilled Worker Program	$940 for the main applicant's permanent selection application, $201 for a spouse or common-law partner and $201 for each dependent child	quebec.ca/en/immigration/permanent
Nunavut	No territorial nominee program; IRCC points to other ways to immigrate to Nunavut	Not applicable	gov.nu.ca/en/immigration/immigrate-nunavut

Quebec selects its own economic immigrants. Skilled workers file a declaration of interest in the Arrima portal, the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration invites candidates by stream, and the people it selects receive a Certificat de sélection du Québec before applying to IRCC for permanent residence. Because Quebec selection does not run through Express Entry, there are no 600 points involved. The four streams, the French requirements and the invitation history are explained in the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (PSTQ) guide.

Nunavut has no territorial program. The Government of Nunavut’s own wording is that there is currently no immigration pathway specifically for Nunavut, and that anyone who has obtained permanent residency through a federal program is welcome to settle there.

What to do if a nomination or application goes wrong

A nomination offer arrives from the wrong province. A candidate can hold only 1 nomination at a time. To be nominated elsewhere, the offer has to be rejected in the Express Entry account with the “not accept” button, after which any other province or territory can send a nomination.
The 30-day window to accept is running out. A nomination that is rejected or ignored means the candidate is not eligible for the PNP unless another province nominates them, although the profile stays in the pool while it remains eligible for an Express Entry program.
The province withdraws the nomination. The required steps depend on timing and are set out below. Skipping them can lead to a finding of ineligibility.
IRCC rejects the application as incomplete. IRCC refunds the processing fees for an incomplete non-Express Entry application, and the applicant fixes the errors and re-submits.
Plans change. IRCC must be told through its web form about a withdrawn nomination, a change of family composition, a new address or representative, and a decision not to live in the nominating province or territory.
The application is refused. IRCC sends a letter with the reasons. Being reconsidered means submitting a new application, meeting the eligibility criteria and being found admissible.

If a province or territory withdraws a nomination (Express Entry process)

How to read this table: These are IRCC's instructions for candidates in the Express Entry pool.

Situation	What the candidate must do
The province withdraws the nomination before an invitation to apply	Withdraw the profile from the Express Entry pool and submit a new profile
The province withdraws the nomination after an invitation to apply but before the application is submitted	Decline the invitation, withdraw the profile from the pool and submit a new profile
The candidate applies without a nomination, or the nomination is withdrawn after the application is submitted	No step fixes this: IRCC refuses the application and does not refund the fees

Questions about a provincial decision go to the province. Several publish a formal review route with its own fee: British Columbia charges $500 for a request for review. Questions about the permanent residence application go to IRCC through the web form or the application status tool, which works once the acknowledgement of receipt has arrived.

What changes next for the provincial nominee programs

Three things move on a schedule. Federal allocations are set for each calendar year, and several provinces received additions during 2026: British Columbia’s allocation rose to 6,254 after IRCC added 1,000 nominations on August 18, 2026, and Alberta’s reached 6,603 on August 10, 2026. Provinces that fill their allocation before December stop or narrow invitations until the new year. Quebec adjusts its selection fees every January 1. And Ontario’s new stream had opened its expression-of-interest portal but listed no invitations when this guide was checked, so its first draw will set the pattern for the program with the largest 2026 allocation recorded in this guide.

Fees are the other moving part. Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan each changed a fee between April 2025 and April 2026, and Nova Scotia’s fee regulation was amended effective September 1, 2026. The date under each table shows when its source was last read.

Common mistakes with the Provincial Nominee Program

Treating a notification of interest as a nomination. IRCC says plainly that it is neither a nomination nor a guarantee of one.
Reading a provincial score as a CRS score. Alberta’s grid has a maximum of 100 points and Saskatchewan’s 110; neither has anything to do with the federal 1,200-point scale.
Assuming every nomination adds 600 points. Only a nomination through a stream that uses Express Entry does, and only for a candidate who also qualifies for a federal Express Entry program.
Expecting a nomination to extend a work permit. It does not; a work permit is a separate application.
Budgeting for one fee. The provincial fee and IRCC’s fees are separate, and the federal amounts apply to an accompanying spouse or partner as well.
Relying on an old stream list. Ontario closed 8 streams in June 2026, Saskatchewan closed its entrepreneur categories in March 2025 and British Columbia confirmed the closure of its Entry Level and Semi Skilled stream in April 2026.
Applying to a province with no intention of living there. Provinces assess whether the person really plans to settle, and IRCC expects to be told if that plan changes.
Missing the federal deadline. An Express Entry invitation lapses after 60 calendar days and the profile is removed from the pool.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Provincial Nominee Program in Canada?

The Provincial Nominee Program is the route that lets a province or territory nominate people for permanent residence because they have the skills, education and work experience to help its economy and want to live there. Each province and territory sets its own requirements and streams and decides how many people it can nominate each year. The nomination comes from the province; the permanent residence decision is made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Which provinces have a PNP?

IRCC lists 11 jurisdictions with nominee program streams: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Yukon. Quebec and Nunavut do not have provincial nominee programs. Quebec selects its own economic immigrants through programs such as the Programme de sélection des travailleurs qualifiés, and Nunavut has no territorial pathway of its own.

How many CRS points does a provincial nomination give?

A nomination accepted in an Express Entry profile adds 600 additional points to the Comprehensive Ranking System score. IRCC states that 600 is the maximum additional points a candidate can have, so a nominee who also has additional points for a job offer or study in Canada receives only the 600 for the nomination. The points can be received only once, and only nominations made through a stream that uses Express Entry carry them.

What is the difference between a base PNP stream and an Express Entry stream?

A base stream follows what IRCC calls the non-Express Entry process: after the province nominates the person, the permanent residence application goes directly to IRCC through the Permanent Residence Portal, with no profile, no points and no invitation round. An Express Entry-aligned stream needs eligibility for one of the 3 federal Express Entry programs as well; the nomination is confirmed in the profile, adds 600 points and the person then waits for an invitation to apply.

What are PNP draws?

The phrase covers two different things. Provinces hold their own draws from expression-of-interest pools and invite the selected candidates to apply for a nomination; Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick and the Northwest Territories all publish their results. IRCC separately holds Express Entry rounds of invitations for Provincial Nominee Program candidates, which invite people who already hold a nomination to apply for permanent residence. The most recent federal round was on September 28, 2026.

How much does it cost to apply to a PNP?

There are two layers of fees. The provincial application fee ranges from nothing in Newfoundland and Labrador to $250 in New Brunswick, $300 in Prince Edward Island, $500 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, $1,000 for a Nova Scotia worker stream, $1,500 in Alberta and $1,750 for a British Columbia Skills Immigration application; Ontario charges $1,500 or $2,000 depending on where the job is. IRCC then charges its own fees: $990 to process the principal applicant's application and the $600 right of permanent residence fee.

Can you apply to more than one provincial nominee program?

IRCC's rules for the Express Entry process say a candidate can receive more than 1 notification of interest at a time but can hold only 1 nomination at a time. Someone with a nomination offer who wants to be nominated by a different province or territory has to reject the first offer in the account. Provinces also assess whether the person really plans to live there, and individual programs set their own limits on parallel expressions of interest.

Does a provincial nomination guarantee permanent residence?

No. The province nominates, but IRCC decides the permanent residence application. IRCC checks eligibility for the program, whether the applicant has the funds to support the family on arrival, and admissibility based on the medical exam, police certificates and other background information. An untruthful application can be refused and can lead to a bar on applying for permanent resident status for up to 5 years. A province can also withdraw a nomination.

Can you work in Canada with a provincial nomination?

A nomination on its own is not permission to work. IRCC states that a provincial nomination does not mean a person can work in Canada, and a work permit is still needed to work while the permanent residence application is processed. A nominee who is already working in Canada and whose permit is about to expire may be eligible for a bridging open work permit, which allows work to continue until IRCC makes a final decision.

Does Quebec have a provincial nominee program?

No. IRCC lists Quebec, together with Nunavut, as not having a provincial nominee program. Quebec selects its own economic immigrants. Skilled workers file a declaration of interest in the Arrima portal and are invited under the Programme de sélection des travailleurs qualifiés (PSTQ), which replaced the Regular Skilled Worker Program; people Quebec selects receive a Certificat de sélection du Québec. The selection fee is $940 for the main applicant.

What happens if a province withdraws a nomination?

Under the Express Entry process the steps depend on timing. If the nomination is withdrawn before an invitation to apply, the candidate must withdraw the profile from the pool and submit a new one. If it is withdrawn after an invitation but before the application is submitted, the candidate must also decline the invitation. IRCC refuses an application made without a nomination, or one whose nomination is withdrawn after submission, and does not refund the fees.
