Province Nominee Program

The Province Nominee Program aims to address skill shortage issues in certain provinces within Canada under a slightly different Canada work visa program.
Under this program an employer can nominate a limited number of candidates for certain skilled positions and make an application to a participating state for sponsorship of the work permit for Canada. The following requirements apply:
• The position must be one that can not be filled by a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident
• The position is permanent and full time
• The position is offered to a candidate that has the required qualifications
• The position is offered to a candidate that has the required work experience
• The position meets provincial employment and wage standards
The following states are actively supporting applications under the PN Program:
• Alberta
• British Colombia
• Manitoba
• Newfoundland and Labrador
• Prince Edward Island
• Yukon
• New Brunswick
• Nova Scotia
• Saskatchenwan
