What Province Nominates?
I am going to Canada to work on a SWAP visa for a year. I intend to eventually obtain a permanent residence through the Provincial Nominee Program. Does anybody know which province in Canada is the best for me to go to in search of a Provincial Nomination? In other words, is there any province that you recommend as the easiest to get a PNP in or in most need of labour force? Is there a specific city that promises opportunities for someone like me? (a 22 yr old psychologist). I am willing to work in whatever field it takes as long as it grants a permanent residency. I've heard that some employers offer facilities to obtain residence, is this true?

If you speak French then definitely Quebec.
Alberta is also very actively rewarding nominations to people in certain fields such as policing and the medical field.
Ontario is famous for both being the top destination for immigrants (until they leave for greener pastures) and for being a bureaucratic nightmare.

Definitely Manitoba as they even help you financially.
Don't try smaller provinces like the Atlantic provinces even thouhg they need medical specialists. Due to smaller population they have smaller governments that can't cover all aspects of governing. Nova Scotia, for example, didn't even have an immigration post in the cabinet until recently, and outsourced the PNP program to a private financial company. The company started charging exorbitant fees on top of what any Canadian immigrant would have to pay. ($5,000 for a skilled immingrant nominee, $100,000 for a business immigrant nominee). It all became so ugly the province eventually had to pay the $100,000 back to the business immigrants.

the easiest way to find out is to do a google search using keywords "ontario provincial nomination" and substitute the first word for each of the provinces.
Actually I did the work for you and did a google using "which canadian provinces nominee programme":
PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAMS
