PNP for Ontario
The majority of immigrants entering Canada choose Ontario as their first destination.
Nearly 40% of all Canadians live in Ontario, the province with the largest population. Ottawa, the nation's capital, and Toronto, its largest metropolis, are both located in Ontario. A third of all new arrivals each year are welcomed by the province. The availability of jobs, high incomes, and a diverse population in Ontario attracted many to settle there. In reality, more than half of Toronto's residents were born outside of Canada.
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program is the name of Ontario's Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) (OINP).
Through this programme, potential immigrants who possess the qualifications and experience sought after by the province may be granted a provincial nomination by Ontario, following which they can submit an application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for permanent residence in Canada (IRCC).
The OINP's key goals are to address talent shortages in priority industries, make it simpler to invest in Ontario, and ensure that immigrants can successfully settle and integrate into the province.
There are base streams and enhanced streams for immigration to Ontario. The Express Entry system is matched with the enhanced streams. Through its three primary economic class immigration programmes, Canada manages petitions for permanent residency using this federal immigration system.
A candidate is assigned a point score through this approach based on the CRS. The top candidates are then given the opportunity to submit an application for permanent residence.
Extra 600 points are awarded to those who have been nominated through a provincial programme that has been improved, effectively ensuring that they will receive an ITAfor permanent residency. Through their Express Entry profile, they are also nominated.
