This week, Ontario, British Columbia (B.C.) and Saskatchewan have issued provincial immigration invitations to eligible candidates.

Across Canada, 11 of the country's 13 provinces and territories - the exceptions being Nunavut and Quebec - use (PNPs) that allow the local government in each participating region to select skilled immigrants whom they have assessed as best-suited to address local labour market needs and minimize regional demographic challenges.

Note: Although immigration is a shared responsibility between Canada's governments at the federal and provincial/territorial levels, Quebec does not operate a PNP. This is because the local government in that province has an agreement in place with (IRCC) that allows Quebec to maintain greater authority over provincial economic immigration.

Provincial immigration results from June 8 to June 14
