Are there any special procedures of immigration for different Provinces of Canada?
Yes, there are special procedures for immigration to some provinces like Quebec, Manitoba etc under the Provincial Nominee Program. Under these programs there is a separate set of selection criteria and it is usually for few occupations in demand in that province. If a person is interested for Quebec, he must satisfy selection criteria of Quebec Immigration. After selection by the province, you become their Provincial nominee. A visa is, however, issued by Federal Immigration authorities.
