What Is the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)?

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) allows the province of Ontario to nominate eligible foreign workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs for permanent residency. The program is designed to address Ontario’s labour market needs and support long-term settlement in the province.
A provincial nomination can significantly strengthen a permanent residence application under federal immigration programs.
