Provincial Nominee Program for applicants from Nigeria

Nigerians are among the largest groups of new permanent residents in Canada each year, most through Express Entry and provincial nomination. Applications from Nigeria are assessed closely on proof of funds and relationship evidence, so bank statements should reflect regular income rather than recent deposits. Education from Nigerian universities needs an Educational Credential Assessment; WAEC or NECO results support secondary education claims. A police character certificate from the Nigeria Police Force is required for permanent residence, and NYSC discharge or exemption certificates help document post-graduation work history.
