Two kinds of streams
Express Entry–aligned (enhanced) streams select people who already have an Express Entry profile. A nomination adds 600 CRS points, which in practice guarantees an invitation in the next provincial nominee round.
Base streams sit outside Express Entry. The province nominates you, then you apply to IRCC on paper or online with a longer processing time.
What decides your options
Most provincial streams now need a tie to the province: a job offer from an employer there, work or study in the province, or an occupation the province is short of. Several provinces publish no points or cutoffs at all, and many paused or reshaped streams in 2025–2026 after their federal allocations were reduced. Always check the stream status on the province's page before you prepare documents.
