Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program for Human Capital Priority Stream

In order to attract foreign workers and international students who have the training, experience, and abilities needed to successfully settle in the province of Ontario, Ontario operates a Human Capital category.

Three Express Entry-related streams are run by OINP under this category: the French-speaking skilled worker’s stream, the Human Capital Priorities stream, and the Skilled Trades stream.

All three streams are passive, which means that interested applicants must wait for the province to choose them from the federal Express Entry pool and extend an invitation to submit an application for nomination.

Interested individuals must first be eligible under one of the federal programs, such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) or the Canadian Experience Class, in order to be taken into consideration under either of these streams (CEC).
