How much does Provincial Nominee Program outside Express Entry cost and how long does it take?

Government fees and processing times can change and may differ by stream, country and family size. Confirm the live fee and processing-time controls on www.canada.ca immediately before paying or planning a deadline.

Practical order

1. 1

   Choose the intended province or territory, open its official nominee-program site and record one current non-Express Entry stream for research without a best-path or eligibility conclusion.

2. 2

   Record whether the selected stream requires a job offer, employer action, connection, occupation, language, education, funds, expression of interest or direct application.

3. 3

   Create the applicant’s own provincial portal record and submit the required expression of interest, registration or direct application with exact current facts.

4. 4

   If the stream issues an invitation, verify its deadline and stream, prepare the province-specific forms and evidence and pay the province directly through the official channel.

5. 5

   If the province nominates the applicant, retain the certificate and decision letter and verify the applicant, stream, destination, conditions and expiry.

6. 6

   Use the current IRCC non-Express Entry provincial-nominee process, open the personalized federal checklist and prepare nomination, civil, family, police, medical and history records.
