There are two immigration streams aligned with the Federal Express Entry immigration selection system. These are the Ontario Express Entry: Human Capital Priorities Stream and Ontario Express Entry: French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream.
Ontario Express Entry: Human Capital Priorities Stream: This stream is for international skilled workers who have the requisite qualifications, job experience, language proficiency, and other characteristics to help them integrate into Ontario’s labor market and communities.
Candidates must be able to join the federal Express Entry pool through either the Federal Skilled Worker Class or the Canadian Experience Class to be considered for this stream.
This stream does not accept direct applications. Instead, they must wait for the OINP to send them a Notification of Interest (NOI) based on their Express Entry profile.
Ontario Express Entry: French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream: This stream is for French-speaking professional workers with good English language skills who want to live and work in Ontario permanently. Effective applicants have the requisite qualifications, job experience, language skills, and other characteristics to help them integrate effectively into Ontario’s labor market and communities. Candidates must be able to join the federal Express Entry pool through either the Federal Skilled Worker Class or the Canadian Experience Class to be considered for this stream.
This stream does not accept direct applications. Instead, they must wait for the OINP to send them a Notification of Interest (NOI) based on their Express Entry profile.
Candidates who receive an enhanced provincial nomination from one of these streams will receive an additional 600 CRS points, resulting in an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence at a later date from the Express Entry pool.
