Generally, for a majority of the PNP streams, Canada PR through the provincial or territorial route involves a 2-step process.

Firstly, a PNP nomination must be secured by the candidate. Following which, the candidate can then use their Nomination Certificate for applying for Canadian permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC].

There are 2 ways of going about the process. A candidate can either create an IRCC Express Entry profile before approaching the different PNPs available, or register with IRCC after they have secured their PNP nomination.

An interest in settling within a specific province or provinces after being granted Canada PR can be specified at the time of the creation of an Express Entry profile with IRCC. An Express Entry profile can be updated later as well.
