Frequently asked questions
What does each row in the table show?
One jurisdiction's published 2026 nomination quota or allocation, with a link back to the original source. A quota or allocation is how many provincial nominations that jurisdiction can issue in 2026, not how many invitations it has sent and not how many people it will admit. Nominations are the second-last step before admission: after nomination, IRCC still processes the federal permanent-resident application before a person becomes a PR.
Why are some jurisdictions missing a number?
Some provinces and territories had not published a numeric 2026 allocation by the time this page was verified. They appear in the source-gap list below the main table, with the publisher pages we checked, rather than being shown as zero or estimated.
Why is Quebec not in this table?
Quebec is not a Provincial Nominee Program. It selects economic immigrants under the Canada-Quebec Accord and publishes its plan through MIFI; see the Quebec levels-plan page for that table.
Why do some provinces issue more invitations than their allocation?
Provinces over-invite to compensate for attrition: withdrawals, refused nominations, and ineligible applications. Treat the pace-proxy figure (invitations / allocation) as a rate-of-effort signal, not as quota usage.
How does this compare with the PNP draw tracker?
This page is the ceiling; the PNP draw tracker is the activity. An allocation says how many nominations a jurisdiction may issue this year, while a draw is one invitation round it actually ran. Read them together to see how hard a province is working against the room it has.
Are these numbers updated automatically?
No. Allocation rows are refreshed manually when the publisher updates the underlying page. The last_verified date in the source citations shows when each row was checked.
