The demands are different and unique for skilled foreign workers in Canada. Many provinces and territories have joined forces with the Canadian government to create a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to meet their local needs.

The following provinces and territories in Canada participate in the Provincial Nominee Program: Manitoba, Alberta, New Brunswick, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon Territory, and Northwest Territories.
