Most of the provincial nominee programs allow application for the PR under provincial streams only with Job offers, issued by the Canadian employers.

Most of the provincial programs are submitted online and in order to participate the candidate must be eligible to enter the Express Entry pool. Please refer to the Express Entry for general requirements.

Once nominated, the candidate will be granted an additional 600 points.

Below we will mention those programs, which do not require previous Educational or Work Experience in the province, however, they do require the job offer:

To qualify, you must first accept a valid job offer from a B.C. employer. You also need relevant training and experience.

3. BC PNP Tech Pilot

The B.C. tech sector is a major driver of economic growth in the province, with tech employment at its highest level ever recorded. The demand for talent in B.C.’s tech sector is increasing faster than the supply.

The priorities for the Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development and Competitiveness include establishing B.C. as a preferred location for new and emerging technologies, increasing the growth of domestic B.C. tech companies, and removing barriers to attracting skilled workers.

Not as the rest of the programs under the BC PNP, this stream allows immigration with reduced eligibility requirements for a permanent full-time job offer to a one-year full-time job offer.

The new International Healthcare Worker EOI submission process is not an application to the SINP (Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program), but a pre-application form that allows candidates to submit an online form indicating they are interested in working in a selected health care occupation in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan will review your qualification, and should you have the skills that an employer is looking for, the province will contact you with information on how to apply for a job opportunity.

To submit an EOI you need to have a professional background that falls under one of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes.
