The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) that allows the province of Ontario to nominate foreign workers, international students, and business entrepreneurs for Canadian permanent residency. It is one of the most sought-after immigration pathways due to Ontario’s strong economy and diverse job opportunities.
The OINP consists of multiple streams, including the Human Capital Category (for skilled workers and graduates), the Employer Job Offer Category (for those with job offers in Ontario), and the Business Category (for entrepreneurs looking to establish businesses). Each stream has specific eligibility criteria based on work experience, job offer requirements, and language proficiency.
Once nominated by Ontario, candidates receive additional points in the Express Entry system, significantly increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency. This program is an excellent choice for skilled workers and business professionals looking to settle in Canada’s most populous province.
