Canada has 11 provinces and territories that participate in immigration programs collaboratively with the federal Government of Canada. There are many advantages to applying for immigration through the provincial or territorial programs because applicants can avail certain advantages, such as faster processing and lenient selection criteria.
Generally, applicants seeking to pursue Canadian immigration through provincial programs are still subject to Government of Canada final approval. Having said that, the selection criteria is normally established by the provinces or territories. The selection criteria, among other things, includes the following:
There are over 80 provincial or territorial immigration programs. Each program has its own specific criteria, and eligibility for some of the programs depends on applicants’ ability to qualify under one of the Express Entry classes.
An applicant selected under one of these programs is nominated by a Canadian province or territory for immigration. When an invitation to apply has been issued by the respective governing body, an applicant then applies to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (“IRCC”) for permanent residence.
