Here is a list of the provinces and one territory currently participating in this program. Since the criteria vary among the provinces, you should visit their websites for more information.

Alberta
Manitoba
Newfoundland and Labrador
Ontario
Saskatchewan
British Columbia
New Brunswick
Nova Scotia
Prince Edward Island
Yukon
After you have been nominated by a province or territory, you have to make a separate application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residence. A CIC officer will then assess your application based on Canadian immigration regulations.

You will have to pass a medical examination and security and criminal checks. You can find more information on both of these topics in the I Need To… section on the right-hand side of this page.

You must also show that you have enough money to support yourself and your dependants after you arrive in Canada. You can find more information on the funds you will need in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.

Provincial nominees are not assessed on the six selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program.
 
How do we "show that we have enough money to support ourselves and our dependants after we arrive in Canada"?

I think I found an answer for the question in another thread!

1. after one gets the provincial nomination, how will the canadian embassy know what ur actual or perceived intentions are?

Answer 1: There is a landing process in which you will land in province and show the proof of funds and provide them your Albertan address at Port of Entry. That's how initially Govt will know where you are residing.
 
You can show the immigration officer your bank statement with the required amount of money and tell him you'll transfer the money as soon as you open an account in Canada.

Can't we land in other province and giving Alberta's mailing address?

Hi Albertacitizen,
what do u mean by Provincial nominees are not assessed on the six selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program..... What is the criteria then, is a job offer sufficient????

Thanks
 
As far as I know,,Provincial nominees are not required to show proof of funds. I think there is a thread here before which madethat clear already.

Goodluck to us all
