In a bid to address the province’s growing shortage of family physicians, Ontario has introduced a new targeted stream under its Express Entry Human Capital Priorities program. This latest initiative aims to attract qualified General Practitioners (GPs) and Family Physicians from around the world.
Eligible candidates must have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score ranging from 395 to 444 and possess relevant work experience in the field. The program is designed to fast-track the immigration process for these healthcare professionals, providing them with a clear pathway to permanent residency in Ontario.
This initiative is a crucial step in addressing Ontario’s ongoing shortage of family physicians. By fast-tracking the immigration process for qualified GPs, the province aims to improve healthcare accessibility for all Ontarians.
If you received a notification of interest on July 25, 2024, and meet the eligibility requirements, you can apply through the OINP e-Filing Portal.
Before submitting your application, carefully review the Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Priorities stream page and the document checklist to ensure you have all the necessary documents.
