Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

The province’s scheme for economic immigration is called the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). Through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, it collaborates with the federal government of Canada (IRCC).

The OINP receives nomination requests from international workers, foreign students, and people who have the appropriate degree, training, and experience.

The OINP identifies and recommends candidates for permanent residency who possess the skills and knowledge needed by the Ontario economy, but the Government of Canada has the final say in whether or not to approve their applications.

The OINP’s Expression of Interest System is used for the ensuing streams. You must submit an expression of interest and be given the okay to apply before you are eligible.
