The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is one of Canada's most active provincial immigration streams. Understanding which stream matches your profile is the most important first step toward a successful nomination.
- Human Capital Priorities — Express Entry candidates aligned with Ontario labour needs
- Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker — workers with an eligible Ontario job offer
- Employer Job Offer: International Student — graduates with Ontario job offers
- Masters Graduate Stream — recent Ontario masters degree graduates
- PhD Graduate Stream — recent Ontario PhD graduates
Human Capital Priorities Stream
This stream targets candidates already in the federal Express Entry pool whose profiles align with Ontario labour market needs. A successful nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score, virtually guaranteeing an ITA in the next draw.
Employer Job Offer Streams
If you have a full-time, permanent job offer from an Ontario employer in an eligible occupation, you may qualify. Your employer must be registered with OINP before you can apply.
The position must be NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3, must be permanent and full-time, and your employer must have been operating for at least three years.
Graduate Streams
Ontario's Masters and PhD Graduate streams offer international graduates a direct pathway to provincial nomination. No job offer is required — eligible candidates must have graduated from an Ontario institution within the past two years.
