Ontario is Canada's top immigration destination. Through the Ontario Candidates Program (PNP), called the Ontario Immigrant Candidates Program (OINP), immigrants can receive provincial candidates who can apply for permanent residency.
OINP was established in 2007 to address skill shortages in certain areas and provide easier investment opportunities for the state. Her 2022 quota for the state is 9,750 nominations.
An OINP immigration flow consists of a basic flow and an extended flow. Enhanced Streams works with the federal government's Express Entry system, which manages permanent residency applications through Canada's three major economy-class immigration programs.
The Express Entry system will score candidates based on a comprehensive ranking system "CRS" and the highest ranking candidates will be invited to apply for permanent residency. If the candidate is nominated from an enhanced state program, they will receive an additional 600 points, essentially guaranteeing an Invitation to Permanent Residency (ITA).
Conversely, Basic Streams are not for Express Entry, so candidates apply directly to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

4. Ontario’s Immigration Streams
Candidates can choose from three categories when
immigrating to Ontario:
• Human capital priorities:
Includes Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and
Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
• Craft:
For those with relevant work experience in a qualifying
profession in Ontario
• French-speaking skilled workers:
It works like the Human Capital Priority Program by FSWP
and CEC, but applicants must have strong command of
French and English.
The following programs fall into the Masters and PhD
categories.
5. • Master's Course:
For individuals with a master's degree from an
Ontario university
• PhD Postgraduate Stream:
PhD from an Ontario university
As the program in this stream is a basic stream,
candidates must create a profile and register an
Expression of Interest (EOI) with the Ontario
Expression of Interest system.
6. Employer Job Offer Category
The following programs fall under the Employer Job
Offer Category:
Foreign worker stream: for skilled workers
International students: for recent graduates of post-
secondary institutions in Ontario
In-demand skills streams: for intermediate skilled
workers in certain sectors such as construction,
agriculture, trucking, and personal support workers.
7. Under this category, the candidate must intend to
live in Ontario and have a full-time permanent job
offer in an eligible occupation in Ontario. They must
also have work experience, a licence or other
authorization that is required to perform the job.
In addition, the Regional Immigration Pilot is a
program that is part of the Employer Job Offer
Category with a goal of attracting and retaining
immigrations to rural and small communities in
Ontario to fill labour shortages.
