A Guide to Immigrating to Ontario
OINP utilizes the Expression of Interest (EOI) system in order to determine which potential candidates meet the requirements and eligibility standards for the various immigration streams. Then, an Invitation to Apply (ITA) is issued to candidates.
An Invitation to Apply (ITA), however, does not automatically entitle you to one of the OINP streams. If you meet the requirements for the stream listed in your ITA and have obtained an ITA to apply for Canada PR updates, you may submit your application online.
After getting the invitation to apply, you have 14 days to submit your Canada PR application. The program manages five streams:
- Foreign Worker Stream
- International Student Stream
- In-Demand Skills Stream
- Masters Graduate Stream
- Ph.D. Graduate Stream
