A nomination from a provincial or territorial government under the Provincial Nominee Program is worth CRS 600. This is as per the “additional points” of the Comprehensive Ranking System criteria.
To be considered by a specific province or territory for a nomination, you will have to mention your interest in your Express Entry profile itself. You can either express interest in PNP at the time of profile creation or update it later.
Generally, you will also have to register with the specific PNP as well. With the exception of Quebec and Nunavut, all other provinces and territories run their own PNP.

First of all, you must find out your eligibility to immigrate to Canada by Express Entry. An Initial Evaluation Report will give you a clear idea.
Begin by creating your Express Entry profile online. You will need an ECA Report if applying under FSWP. You will also have to submit scores for IELTS or CELPIP as proof of your ability in the English language.
You must secure 67 points on the Canada skilled immigration eligibility calculator. Once you have created your profile, you must find out if your CRS score is competitive enough. Any score above CRS 500 is generally considered to be good. The minimum score cut-off was CRS 490 in the latest Express Entry Draw #238 held on January 18, 2023.
Get all your documents together. You will be allotted 60 days to apply once you get an invitation to apply from the federal Government of Canada. ITAs are issued by IRCC in Express Entry draws.
