Canada has entered in to bi-lateral agreements with all provinces( except Quebec) and with the Yukon and Northwest Territories to allow the provinces nominate individuals to become permanent residents based on the provinces' assessment of the nominees' ability to contribute the economic growth and development of that province. These nominees must have the skills, education and work experience or adequate capital to set up a business, in order to contribute to the economy of that province or territory. They must agree to settle down in the province from whom they receive the nomination.

To apply under the Provincial Nominee Program, the person must:

• be nominated by a specific Canadian province or territory, then
• apply to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to become a permanent resident of Canada.

Each participating province and territory has its own nomination guidelines.
