A stream is one route within a province's program, with its own rules. This page counts only the streams our report checks, and it is built from the same rules, so it changes when we update them.
Most of these streams belong to a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The province or territory nominates (chooses) you. Then the Government of Canada decides on your permanent residence, the status that lets you live and work in Canada with no time limit. Quebec works differently: it selects its own immigrants instead of nominating them.
