2. You contact a province or territory directly

In this case, you apply directly to the prov ince or territor y for nom ination .

a) If they agree to nominate you, you will have to create an Express Entry
profile (or update an existing one) to show that you have received a
nomination. Indicate that you are interested in that prov ince if you haven’t
already.

b) Contact the province or territory again and prov ide them with you r Express
Entry profile number and Job Seeker Validation code.

c) Wait for the province or territory to confirm you r nom ination with IRCC.

d) If your application to the province or territor y is approv ed, you will receive a
message in your account asking you if you accept or do not accept the
nomination. You can find the nomination at the top of you r
Application/profile details page. From there, simply click the ‘accept’ or ‘not
accept’ button in your account.

e) If you accept the nomination, you will get a letter in your account that
confirms the nomination and you will receive 600 addition al poi nts that will
essentially guarantee an ITA in a subsequent draw.

f) If you decline or ignore the nomination, you will remain in the Express
Entry pool and may be invited to apply under a different prog ram that you
meet the eligibility requirements for.

The two approaches are very similar and bot h require you to have an Express Entry
profile.

You can receive more than one notification of interest at a time, but can on ly have

one nomination at a time. If you received an of fer for nom ination from on e prov ince
or territory, but would like to be selected by a different prov ince or territor y, you
have to decline the first nomination before anot her prov ince can send you their
nomination.
