Qualify for Canada PR through Ontario PNP 

OINP is designed to address labor market needs by providing pathways to permanent residency to foreign workers who are willing to study, work and settle in Ontario. 

Under the enhanced PNP streams, OINP can nominate interested candidates directly from the federal Express Entry pool. Upon successful provincial nomination, the eligible candidates receive 600 additional CRS points which effectively guarantees an invitation to apply for permanent residency. 

Additionally, there are base programs such as Tech Pilot draw and Skilled Trade stream which nominate desirable candidates outside the Express Entry fold. These candidates are required to have established provincial ties such as familial ties, graduation from any institute in Ontario, or a full-time work experience in Ontario. 

Upon receiving a provincial nomination, candidates a just one step away from receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada under Canada Experience Class. 

Canada aims to issue upto 90,000 provincial nominations in 2023 and Ontario Immigration Nominee Program will play a significant role. Interested candidates can weigh in on their chances of qualifying for a provincial nomination.
