ABOUT THIS SEMINAR

The December 3, 2026, Immigration Practitioner Centre Continuing Professional Development Seminar’s Event Title is ‘Provincial Nominee Programs – Updates, Targets, and Processing Streams’. 

Pending approval for 4 CPD Hours by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants and the Law Society of BC.  

This seminar is Ashton College’s final Continuing Professional Development seminar of 2026 and provides a comprehensive review of Provincial Nominee Programs, including recent changes, immigration levels, numerical targets, processing streams, and program updates. 

The seminar examines Provincial Nominee Programs in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. It also addresses the provincial numerical targets established under the Federal Government’s new Immigration Plan, including temporary and permanent resident targets where available. 

The seminar focuses on the continued development of Provincial Nominee Programs as provincial authorities introduce new categories, processing platforms, and program requirements to respond to regional economic needs and demand for specific occupations in key industrial sectors. 

The four presenters address the following topics: 

  • Mohamed Negmeldin, RCIC-IRB: Immigration Levels Plan and numerical targets for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, including updates to temporary, permanent, and business pathways. 

  • Marina V. Snyder, RCIC-IRB: Immigration Levels Plan, numerical targets, overview, updates, and processing streams for the Quebec Immigration Program (QIP). 

  • Alexandra Callinan, Lawyer: Immigration Levels Plan, numerical targets, regulatory overhaul, and business streams under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). 

  • Benton Mischuk, Lawyer: Immigration Levels Plan, numerical targets, increased 2026 targets, updated program guides, and processing streams for business and non-business pathways. 

Each presentation concludes with a dedicated Question-and-Answer session. 

The seminar also considers the Federal Government’s annual Immigration Plan announcement to Parliament, which establishes the framework for temporary and permanent immigration targets and informs the processing limits applicable to Provincial Nominee Programs. 

This comprehensive seminar provides Immigration Practitioners with updates on provincial programs, numerical targets, and processing pathways as they prepare for the 2027 immigration year.
