If you want to settle in Ontario, Canada’s economic hub, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is one of the best ways to achieve permanent residency. At K7 Immigration, we help skilled workers, international graduates, and professionals secure their PR through OINP and other PNP pathways — with guidance from our dedicated RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant).

What is OINP and Why is it Important?

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) allows the province to select skilled individuals who can contribute to its economy and community. By receiving a provincial nomination, candidates significantly boost their Express Entry CRS score, often guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian PR.

If you have skills, work experience, or education in Ontario, OINP could be your ticket to permanent residency.

• International students who graduated from an Ontario institution
• Skilled workers with job offers from Ontario employers
• Professionals in in-demand occupations
• French-speaking candidates seeking PR in Ontario

Key OINP Streams for PR in Ontario

Each stream has its own requirements, but don’t worry — our RCIC ensures your profile matches the right stream for maximum success.

OINP International Student Stream

The OINP International Student Stream is designed for students who completed their studies in Ontario and have a valid job offer and want to apply for Canada Study Visa.

Eligibility Highlights:

• Completed at least a two-year diploma or one-year post-graduate program at an Ontario Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
• Valid job offer in a skilled occupation (TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3)
• Language requirement: CLB 6 or higher
• Proof of settlement funds

Pro Tip: Even without a job offer, you may qualify for other streams like the Masters Graduate Stream.

OINP Masters Graduate Stream

This is one of the most popular pathways for international students in Ontario because you do not need a job offer.

Eligibility Highlights:

• Graduated with a Master’s degree from an eligible Ontario university
• Resided in Ontario for at least one year during studies
• Language requirement: CLB 7 or higher
• Sufficient funds and intent to live in Ontario

OINP Employer Job Offer Streams

If you already have a job offer in Ontario, you can apply through:

• Foreign Worker Stream
• In-Demand Skills Stream

Each stream requires employer support, and we ensure your paperwork meets Ontario’s standards.

OINP Human Capital Category

This category is for candidates in the Express Entry system who have the skills and work experience Ontario needs. It includes:

• Human Capital Priorities Stream
• French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream
• Skilled Trades Stream

A provincial nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score, making an Express Entry ITA almost guaranteed.
