Home to Niagara Falls, Ontario is the center of Canada’s economic, social, and political life. The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) enables immigrants with skills to obtain an Ontario Provincial Nomination Certificate, which allows them to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence.
Applicants can apply through one of the following OINP immigration categories:
- Ontario Express Entry is designed for skilled workers with work experience in an eligible skilled trade who want to live and work permanently in Ontario.
- Employer Category is designed for skilled foreign workers with a job offer to permanently live and work in Ontario.
- International Student Category is designed for international students with a Master’s degree or a PhD obtained in Canada who want to live and work permanently in Ontario.
- Business Category is designed for entrepreneurs looking to implement a new business idea as well as corporations seeking to expand operations in Ontario.
