Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program 


Furthermore, through the O.I.N.P., the province nominates candidates for economic immigration to get the Canada PR each year. O.I.N.P. is a large component of the federal Provincial Nominee Program. This program works with the participating provinces/territories to distribute the various benefits of immigration across Canada in an even manner.

Details regarding Candidates


Candidates having their profile in the federal Express Entry pool received 50 percent of the O.I.N.P. nominations in 2018. O.I.N.P. has these three streams aligned to EE:

• Human Capital Priorities,

• French-Speaking Skilled Worker

• Skilled Trades streams

Additionally, through these streams, Ontario searches for candidates who can meet the demands of the local labor market and also provides a nomination to them to get the PR. These nominated candidates receive 600 extra points in the CRS score. Among the 6,850 nominations issued by Ontario last year, the share of Human Capital Priorities Stream was 2,190 nominations.
