How to Calculate Ontario PR Points

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) uses a points-based system to select candidates for permanent residency. Points are awarded across several categories, and the total score determines your eligibility.

Total Points = Age Points + Education Points + Work Experience Points + Language Skills Points + Adaptability Points

Each category has specific point allocations and requirements. The calculator below will help you determine your total points based on your personal circumstances.

Ontario PR Points Categories

The points system is divided into five main categories:

Age - Points awarded based on your age when you apply.
Education - Points for your highest level of education completed.
Work Experience - Points for relevant Canadian work experience.
Language Skills - Points for your English and French language proficiency.
Adaptability - Points for your ability to settle in Ontario.

Each category has specific point allocations and requirements. The calculator below will help you determine your total points based on your personal circumstances.

Minimum Points Required

The minimum points required for Ontario's Express Entry program vary depending on the year and the specific stream you're applying through. As of the latest guidelines:

General Skilled Worker Program: 67 points
French-Speaking Skilled Worker Program: 53 points
International Education Stream: 67 points

These minimum requirements are subject to change, so it's important to check the latest guidelines before applying.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to see how the points add up. Consider a candidate with the following profile:

Category	Points Awarded
Age (35 years old)	100 points
Education (Master's degree)	50 points
Work Experience (5 years)	50 points
Language Skills (CLB 8 in English)	50 points
Adaptability (NOC 0, A, B)	25 points
Total	275 points

This candidate would have 275 points, which is well above the minimum requirements for most streams. However, your actual score will depend on your specific circumstances.
