IRCC Portal: Provinces and territories

This portal allows provinces and territories to access and nominate candidates in the Express Entry system through their Provincial Nominee Programs to meet local labour market needs. IRCC requires users of the portal to enter an electronic credential registered with 1 of these services: GCKey or Sign-In Partner (Interac® sign-in service).

This online service will be unavailable from 12:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, January 31, 2023 Eastern time, in order to perform system maintenance.

Online applications: After we receive your application, it may take up to 5 days for you to see it in your account. We are working to make this wait time shorter. If your application does not appear after 5 days, contact us and report a technical problem. This issue will not delay processing of your application.

  • Use the same sign in information you use for other online services (for example, online banking)
  • None of your information will be shared with IRCC. Your Sign-In Partner will not know which government service you are using.
  • You will temporarily leave Canada.ca to use your Sign-In Partner
