If you wish to get an NOI under this OINP sub-stream then you must meet terms such as:

• Firstly have a minimum qualifying work experience of 1 year.
• Secondly, have a valid licensing/certification if applicable.
• Also, you must be legally living and working in Ontario.
• Besides, have a language skill level of CLB 5 or more.
• Further, have settlement funds for yourself and your family members (if accompanying).
• Finally, intend to live and settle in Ontario.

In addition to the above, you must have a valid and active Express Entry profile. However, to do the same you must:

• Apply to 1 of the EE sub-streams such as:
  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
• Also, meet Human Capital Factors:
  • Age
  • Education
  • Work Experience
  • Language Skills
• Get a CRS rank under the EE pool.

Ontario picks up skilled workers from the EE pool as per its labour market and economic needs. As a result, if you are selected you will get a Notification of Interest (NOI), after which you apply to OINP for a provincial nomination certificate.

What happens when you get a nomination under OINP?

When you get a provincial nomination against your Express Entry (EE) profile, your chances of getting an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency in Canada go up. This is because you get an additional 600 CRS points for claiming a nomination under OINP. Thus, when IRCC conducts periodic Express Entry draws, as your overall CRS rank/score goes up your chances of getting an ITA are also higher.
