Immigrating via Ontario’s PNP

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) offers pathways to permanent residence (PR) for temporary residents in Ontario, Canada’s top destination for newcomers. Administered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), OINP selects candidates based on local labor market needs and demographic gaps. Key streams include the Skilled Trades Stream requiring Ontario residence and the Masters and PhD categories for graduates from Ontario universities. These programs do not require alignment with IRCC’s Express Entry system, unlike other OINP streams.
