A successful provincial nomination grants an additional 600 points in the CRS to a candidate in his Express Entry profile, almost assuring an Invitation to Apply in the next round of invitations.
If interested in continuing with the application, the candidates have to apply directly with the provincial government through a separate portal. Certain provinces, however, also require candidates that satisfy the prerequisites to apply with the province for a nomination. Once the province has agreed to grant the nomination, the candidate can create a new or update an existing Express Entry profile to indicate the nomination received.
