The Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a points-based system that evaluates candidates for permanent residency in Ontario. This calculator helps you estimate your points based on various factors including age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and more.
How This Calculator Works
Our Ontario PNP calculator uses the official point grid from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to estimate your points. The calculator considers:
- Age
- Education
- Work experience
- Language proficiency (CLB level)
- Canadian work experience
- Spouse factors
- Additional points for skilled trades
The calculator provides an estimated total score and indicates whether you meet the minimum requirement of 67 points.
How Ontario PNP Works
The Ontario PNP is a points-based system that evaluates candidates for permanent residency. The minimum requirement is 67 points. Points are awarded in several categories:
Total Points = Age + Education + Work Experience + Language + Canadian Work Experience + Spouse Factors + Additional Points
Candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residency. The Ontario PNP has different streams including the Skilled Trades Stream, French-Speaking Skilled Workers Stream, and the International Education Stream.
Point Categories
Age
Points are awarded based on your age at the time of application. Younger candidates receive more points.
Education
Points are awarded for your highest level of education completed. Higher levels of education receive more points.
Work Experience
Points are awarded for your work experience in the last 10 years. Each year of experience earns points, with more points for higher levels of education.
Language Proficiency
Points are awarded based on your Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level in English or French. Higher CLB levels earn more points.
Canadian Work Experience
Points are awarded for work experience in Canada. Each year of experience earns points.
Spouse Factors
Points are awarded if your spouse or common-law partner has Canadian work experience or education.
Additional Points
Additional points may be awarded for skilled trades, international education, or other factors.
Example Calculation
Let's look at an example calculation for a candidate with the following details:
- Age: 30 years
- Education: Master's degree (22 points)
- Work experience: 5 years (100 points)
- Language: CLB 7 (50 points)
- Canadian work experience: 2 years (10 points)
- Spouse factors: 10 points
- Additional points: 5 points
Total Points = 10 (Age) + 22 (Education) + 100 (Work Experience) + 50 (Language) + 10 (Canadian Work Experience) + 10 (Spouse) + 5 (Additional) = 207 points
This candidate would meet the minimum requirement of 67 points and would be eligible for the Ontario PNP.
