How the Ontario OINP Works

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is a provincial immigration program that selects skilled workers and international students to become permanent residents of Ontario. The program operates through three streams:

• Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) - Skilled Workers: For experienced foreign workers with a job offer in Ontario.
• Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) - International Student Stream: For graduates of designated learning institutions in Ontario.
• Ontario Graduate Certificate (OGC): For international students who have completed a program of study in Ontario.

The points-based system evaluates candidates based on factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, age, and adaptability. The minimum required points vary by stream and category of candidate.

OINP Point Calculation

The OINP point system assigns points to candidates based on various factors. The total points determine eligibility for nomination. The factors and their maximum points are as follows:

The minimum required points vary by stream and category of candidate. For example, the Skilled Workers stream typically requires 67 points for the Express Entry category and 50 points for the French-Speaking Skilled Workers category.
