Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

Overview

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is a gateway to living, working, and thriving in the culturally rich and diverse province of Ontario. Home to vibrant cities such as Toronto, Ottawa-Gatineau, and Hamilton, Ontario is a popular choice for immigrants seeking new opportunities.

Human Capital Priorities Stream:

As part of the Opportunities Ontario: Provincial Nominee Program (OOPNP), the Human Capital Priorities Stream is designed to select candidates from the federal Express Entry pool. It targets individuals with the necessary education, skilled work experience, language skills, and other attributes to excel in Ontario’s labor market and communities

The Process Involves:

Express Entry Registration

Register with CIC’s Express Entry system to receive a profile number and Job Seeker Validation Code. Indicate your interest in immigrating to Ontario or all provinces and territories. Qualify for either the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) or the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Identification by OOPNP

OOPNP searches the Express Entry pool for candidates meeting the Human Capital Priorities Stream criteria. Identified candidates with a minimum of 400 CRS points will receive a PT Notification of Interest from Ontario, inviting them to apply for nomination

Application to OOPNP

After receiving the PT Notification, candidates have 45 days to apply to OOPNP under the Human Capital Priorities Stream, including all required documents and specifying their chosen federal immigration program

Nomination and Permanent Residency Application

If approved, candidates will receive a nomination letter from OOPNP. Accepting this nomination in the Express Entry system grants an additional 600 CRS points, leading to an ITA for permanent residency from CIC. Applicants then have 60 days to apply to CIC, undergoing health, security, and criminality checks

One year of work experience in NOC levels O, A, or B in the past five years.
