At a glance
A province may nominate people who match its labour needs and who plan to live and work within its borders. The nomination is only half the route: permanent residence is then applied for from the federal government.
Stream names, eligibility and intake change from year to year. Rather than quoting an old list, we read what is open now alongside your own history.
Who it is for
- Workers holding a job offer or experience in Alberta
- Graduates of schools within the province
- Applicants who want an option next to the federal pool
Papers to collect
- Employment letters and pay records
- Evidence of where you live and your current status
- Language results and education documents
- An employer's support letter if the stream requests one
How the work unfolds
Find a stream
Your history is compared with each current stream, and we flag the few worth reading closely.
Provincial application
We assemble the provincial form and the records it asks for.
Federal application
Once nominated, the permanent residence application is prepared and filed.
Asked about this route
No. The federal application is assessed on its own, so nomination is a middle step. We explain both stages at the outset.
No consultant can promise an outcome. Final decisions on applications are made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This practice is independent and does not speak for any government body.
Nomination is granted on the understanding that you plan to live in that province. Each stream sets its own expectations for after nomination, and we talk each one over with you.
