PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAMS

The provincial Nominee Program has seen 10 of the 13 Canadian provinces arrive into an agreement with the Canadian government to offer more immigration opportunities. The Provincial Nomination Program is an extremely successful program. This program allows each separate province to nominate applicants, based on the provinces’ unique skill needs.

So, if a particular province is experiencing a lack of skilled health care workers, they could give precedence to those applicants who have the necessary qualifications.  The programs objective is to make it easier for immigrants to assimilate smoothly into Canadian life, while ensuring that they successfully contribute to the specific communities.
