Ontario, British Columbia, & Saskatchewan conduct the latest draws, thus inviting applicants for nominations.
Across Canada, 11 out of 13 provinces and territories, except Quebec and Nunavut, use Provincial Nominee Programs. These programs enable the local government in every participating province and territory to select skilled immigrants whom they have assessed to be best suited to address local labor market needs and minimize regional demographic challenges.
Note: Although immigration is a shared responsibility between Canada’s provincial and federal governments, Quebec does not operate a PNP. This is because the province’s local government has an agreement with IRCC that enables the province to maintain greater authority over provincial economic immigration.

Ontario, British Columbia, & Saskatchewan conduct the latest draws. Here are the results for the same.

Ontario has issued invitations via its Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program for the first time in almost two months. In addition, these invitations were issued through two separate draws on June 11, 2024.
In the first draw, under the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream, the OINP issued 124 invitations to applicants who might qualify as early childhood educators and assistants. This draw invited applicants with a score ranging from 43 and above.
In addition, in another June 11 draw, the OINP issued 120 invitations to applicants in a targeted draw through its Employer Job Offer: International Student stream. This draw was also for applicants who might qualify as early childhood educators and assistants, but this draw required a minimum score of 65.

On June 11, British Columbia conducted another general draw for the BC PNP, i.e., British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program.

- Skilled Worker
- Skilled Worker – Express Entry British Columbia Option
