Ontario Nominee Program Calculator

How the Ontario Nominee Program Works

The Ontario Nominee Program is designed to attract skilled workers to Ontario by offering them permanent residency. The program operates through three main streams:

1. Skilled Trades Stream - For workers with specific skilled trade certifications
2. International Education Stream - For graduates of Ontario universities or colleges
3. Employer-Driven Stream - For workers offered a job by an Ontario employer

Each stream has its own eligibility criteria and point system. The calculator focuses on the general point calculation that applies across all streams.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for the Ontario Nominee Program, you must meet certain requirements:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have a valid job offer from an Ontario employer (for Employer-Driven Stream)
• Meet the minimum language requirements (CLB 7 in English or French)
• Have the required education and work experience
• Pass a medical examination

The point system helps determine your eligibility and priority for nomination. The minimum points required vary by stream and year.

Calculation Method

The Ontario Nominee Program uses a point-based system to assess your eligibility. Points are awarded for various factors including:

• Education
• Work experience
• Language proficiency
• Age
• Adaptability

The calculator estimates your points based on the information you provide. The actual points you receive may vary depending on your specific qualifications.

2. Gather all necessary documents for your application
3. Submit your application through the appropriate stream
