2019-11-07 – What is the implication when a province
issues an approval for a newcomer to relocate to its province and
what are the obligations of an applicant to actually settle in that
province?
The right to legislate in the field of
immigration in Canada is shared equally between the federal
government and the provinces, apart from Quebec.
The Quebec government acquired exclusive rights to establish its
own policies and programs in 1981.
However, all of the provinces and territories have implemented
their own programs to select immigrants.
Increasing numbers of applicants are applying for admission to
Canada under a
Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or through
Quebec.
