Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is a pathway for Canada's Ontario province to select and nominate skilled workers, international students, and entrepreneurs who wish to immigrate permanently. By identifying candidates who meet Ontario's economic needs, the program facilitates their nomination for Canadian permanent residence. Nominees benefit from a faster immigration process, helping Ontario address labor shortages and attract talent. The program has various streams, such as those for skilled workers, international graduates, and business entrepreneurs, each with specific eligibility criteria tailored to support different pathways to settlement in Ontario.
