🇨🇦 Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

Canada's largest PNP — Human Capital, Tech, French and Employer Job Offer streams

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is Canada's largest PNP by intake, holding roughly 21,500 nomination spots in 2026 — more than double any other province. OINP is the primary PR route for tech workers targeting Toronto, healthcare professionals across Ontario, French-speaking candidates targeting Ottawa or Sudbury, and international graduates from Ontario universities. Its Human Capital Priorities Stream regularly issues Notifications of Interest (NOIs) that push Express Entry profiles from 480 CRS to 1,080 CRS — an effectively guaranteed ITA.

FAQs

Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) — Common questions

What CRS score gets an Ontario Human Capital Priorities NOI?

+

Recent HCP tech draws have targeted candidates with CRS 460-490. General HCP draws cut off around 475-490. French-Speaking Skilled Worker draws routinely close at 400-435.

Can I apply to OINP Masters Graduate without a job offer?

+

Yes — the Masters Graduate Stream is one of Canada's few no-job-offer PNP routes. You need a full-time completed Master's from an eligible Ontario public university, CLB 7 in English or French and evidence of intent to settle in Ontario.

How does the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream cut-off get so low?

OINP wants to hit Ontario's Francophone immigration target of 5%. Candidates with CLB 7 French + CLB 6 English are prioritised aggressively, with cut-offs often 60-100 CRS below general HCP draws.
