Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) Overview
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is Ontario's economic immigration program, operated in partnership with the Government of Canada through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The program helps Ontario attract skilled foreign workers, international graduates and other qualified individuals who can contribute to the province's economy and labour market needs.
Eligible applicants can apply to the OINP for a provincial nomination based on their skills, work experience and qualifications. Successful nominees may then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for Canadian permanent residency, with the federal government making the final decision on all permanent residence applications.
The OINP continues to evolve to address Ontario's changing workforce demands, ensuring the province attracts talented individuals who can support long-term economic growth and community development.
