If you wish to be assessed for adaptability points, your province of destination must provide you with documentation indicating it is satisfied that you have met one or both of the above elements. For the purpose of awarding points:

  • a trip to Canada becomes a business exploration trip to Canada only when a province has deemed it to be so and
  • each province establishes, individually, what constitutes participation in a joint federal–provincial business immigration initiative
If you wish to earn points for adaptability, you should first get in touch with the provincial or territorial government contact for the province or territory in which you are going to live. The province or territory can then provide you with appropriate documentation indicating that, in its view, you have met the regulatory requirements. You must submit this documentation to the visa office.
