What to verify first

Each province runs its own streams, intake windows and criteria, so start with the province and the stream rather than with a points total. Confirm whether the stream needs a job offer, a connection to the province, or an expression of interest.

How to prepare the file

Prepare the province-specific evidence: work experience in the named occupation, the employer's job offer where required, settlement funds, and any language or education documents the stream lists.

Questions to ask before you file

Ask whether the nomination is enhanced or base, how it interacts with an Express Entry profile, and what the province expects from you after nomination.

Always confirm the current requirements on the official source before acting. This guide is general information, not advice on your file.
