Ontario to introduce an expression of interest system for the Ontario Immigration Nominee Program

The Ontario Ministry of Labor, Training and Skills Development will launch a new Expression of Interest system in the coming weeks for the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). The Expression of Interest system will be a points-based registration process to invite skilled immigrants to submit a provincial nominee application for permanent residency. Full details on how the Expression of Interest will operate and how the points system will apply have yet to be released. We expect that the Expression of Interest will work in a similar fashion to the points-based allocation system under the Canadian government's Express Entry program.
