Provincial nominee programs could be quite straightforward and less tedious than the Federal Skilled Program but the major challenge is that most provinces might require that you have a sponsor or supporter on ground in the province you want to apply to who will stand in for you. I will send you web page links to all the pronvincial nominee programs of all the provinces in Canada. Each has their own requirements. Let me dig it out for you...brb

okay here is a piece of information about the PNP weblinks to the PNP for each province in Canada

Most provinces and territories in Canada have an agreement with the Government of Canada that allows them to nominate immigrants who wish to settle in that province or territory. If you choose to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, you must first apply to the province or territory where you wish to settle and complete its provincial nomination process. The province/territory will consider your application based on its immigration needs and your genuine intention to settle there.

The provinces and territories below currently participate in the PNP. Since the criteria vary among the provinces and territories and can change without notice, you should visit their websites for the most current information.

Alberta----------http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/immigrating/ainp.aspx
British Columbia---------------http://www.welcomebc.ca/wbc/immigration/come/work/about/index.page
Manitoba--------------------http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/
New Brunswick---------------http://www.welcomenb.ca/content/wel-bien/en/immigrating_and_settling/how_to_immigrate/new_brunswick_provincialnomineeprogram.html
Newfoundland and Labrador-------------http://www.nlpnp.ca/
Northwest Territories----------http://www.iti.gov.nt.ca/businesseconomicdevelopment/nwtnomineeprogram.shtml
Nova Scotia---------http://www.novascotiaimmigration.com/
Ontario-----------------------http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/index.htm
Prince Edward Island--------------------http://www.gov.pe.ca/immigration/pnp
Saskatchewan------------------http://www.saskimmigrationcanada.ca/
Yukon--------------------http://www.immigration.gov.yk.ca/ynp_overview.aspx

After you have been nominated by a province or territory, you must 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.

NB:THE WEB LINKS ABOVE IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS IN CANADA AS IT IS THROUGH THE IMMIGRATION PAGES OF THE DIFFERENT PROVINCES YOU ARE IN THAT YOU WILL GET THE REQUIRED INFORMATION TO KNOW WHAT PROGRAM THE GOVERNMENT OF EACH PROVINCE HAS IN PLACE FOR STUDENTS IN CANADA TO CONVERT THEIR TRVs TO PERMANENT RESIDENTS.

Siga: ...U can wait till u finish to put in the papers or apply at least 6 months into your program....if u apply during ur program...make sure u put in ur current transcripts to make them know u are working towards completing ur MSc coupled with 2 reference letters from ur professors and they might hold ur application and ask for ur transcript once u finish to upgrade ur points...but I will advise to finish first cos u stand a better chance....as per the Post Graduate Work permit...check this out... www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad.asp ... hope this answers ur question...

jman77: @all,i applied and recieved an admission acceptance letter that states that i've been offered into 2012-13 winter and 2013-14 fall,please can anybody give a vivid advise on what it means and when precisely to apply for TRV for that winter session cos these appear to be a double admission to my senses.cheers!

mercylicious: @cris83,
If I were in ur shoes, ill try and get an advanced diploma in geology.
Oil sector in canada is booming. Going for HOUR and still coming back to geology to me is a waste of resources.
If u finally decide to go for geology, don't go too far from calgary. Any college in calgary and d neighbouring province will do.

blink6:
Is calgary in alberta?

TRV_IJN: @ Blink, Calgary is in Alberta. I wanna advise you as a younger brother. Google is very good. I didn't even know where it was until I googled it and I didn't even have to click on the result- it was in my face.
Blink, order is a very good thing. I advise u use this time table if you are considering fall 2014.
Nov 2012-Feb 2013 - Study for WAEC, read hard, forget about this thread (or visit very sparingly)
March-April 2013- solve all past questions of the exams you are going to take (DO NOT VISIT THIS THREAD OR THINK ABOUT CANADA-THEY WILL BOTH NOT DISAPPEAR EVEN AFTER YOUR EXAMS)
May-June/July 2013 - Write and pass your exams (I wish you success, but u have to earn it)
July/August 2013-When ur results come out. peruse this thread,ask all the questions. start applying to schools, contact the people on this thread (past,present(past @ that time)and future). Look for 2-3 people who have similar dreams and conditions as you and make them pals so you work together.
My younger brother @Blink, I want you to succeed by God's Grace so please don't go to this race putting ur cart before your horse.
Let me know if I can help you in any way.
