Provincial Nominee Programs
Each province has its own streams. A nomination adds 600 CRS points, virtually guaranteeing an ITA.
Atlantic Immigration Program
Employer-driven program for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland. Lower requirements than Express Entry.
Rural & Northern Immigration
Community-driven pathway for smaller cities and towns. Less competitive than major urban centres.
