PNP quotas and nomination allocations — 2026
2026 provincial and territorial nomination quotas and allocations, sourced from each publisher and clearly labelled as nominations — not invitations and not admissions.
Data as of May 2026
What the table shows
Each row is one jurisdiction's published 2026 nomination quota or allocation, with a link back to the original source. Rows are sortable client-side once the page hydrates.
- Quotas and allocations are how many provincial nominations a jurisdiction can issue in 2026, not how many invitations it has sent.
- Invitations to apply often exceed the allocation because provinces over-invite to absorb withdrawal, refusal, and ineligibility attrition.
- Nominations are the second-last step before admission. After nomination, IRCC still processes the federal permanent-resident application before a person becomes a PR.
Jurisdictions without a public allocation
Some provinces and territories have 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
