Provincial Nomination Program
Almost all provinces in Canada have an agreement with the Government of Canada that permits them to play a more active role in selecting immigrants who wish to settle in that province. Anyone desiring to immigrate as a Provincial Nominee must first apply to the province which considers the applications based on the intentions of the new settler.

Note: After you have been nominated by a province, you have to make a separate application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residence. A CIC officer will assess your application based on Canadian immigration regulations.
Provincial nominees are not assessed on the six selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program.
