Congratulations — it is a big milestone, but not the finish line. Your next step is submitting your permanent residence application to IRCC within the deadline stated on your nomination or endorsement (deadlines are strict, so start gathering documents right away). PR is not guaranteed: IRCC still runs medical exams, security and criminal background checks, and reviews your file for accuracy. Most complete, honest applications succeed, but a nomination can be refused federally, especially if information does not match what you told the province.
