If you have the needed skills work experience, education, and language ability, learn how to apply for a nomination for permanent residence in Ontario. Overview The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program's Express Entry Human Capital Priorities stream is a type of immigration (OINP). It allows foreign workers with the necessary skills, language ability, and education to apply to live and work in Ontario on a permanent basis. Before you can apply online to be nominated for permanent residence by the Ontario government, you must have a valid profile in the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Express Entry system and obtain a Notification of Interest from Ontario. If you've been nominated, the next step is to submit an application to the federal government via IRCC. They make the final decision on who is allowed to stay permanently in the United States. Prior to submitting your application, 1. Create an Express Entry profile with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Before we can send you a Notification of Interest (NOI), which you'll need to apply to Ontario's Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream, you'll need to create an account in IRCC's Express Entry system. To be eligible for IRCC's Express Entry system, you must first complete an IRCC-designed questionnaire to identify which immigration programs you are eligible to apply for. The questionnaire can be found on the website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada: Do you wish to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker? The Express Entry system will determine if you qualify for the federal Express Entry program based on your responses. If you meet the requirements, you'll be given a reference number that you can use to build an online profile in the Express Entry system. You'll get an Express Entry profile number and a Job Seeker Validation Code once you've completed your profile. If you receive a NOI from Ontario and want to apply to Ontario's Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream, you'll need these numbers. A Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score will also be awarded to you. The information in your profile, such as your age, education, language competence, skills, work experience, and so on, is used to compute your CRS score. When you create an Express Entry profile, you must choose between Ontario and All Provinces and Territories to show your interest in immigrating to Ontario. In your Express Entry profile, you must give accurate and genuine information. Your OINP application could be denied or your nomination removed if the information in your Express Entry profile is false or misleading. In addition, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada may find you inadmissible and/or restrict you from applying to immigrate to Canada for a period of five years. 2. Double-check that you've met all of the requirements. Before you can apply to this stream, you must meet a number of essential requirements. 3. Be aware of the application procedure. Please keep in mind: You have 45 calendar days from the date you receive a Notification of Interest from Ontario for Ontario's Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream to apply. You must apply through the OINP e-Filing Portal. The application takes roughly three hours to complete. You don't have to finish the application all at once; you can save your work and come back to it later. You can fill out the application yourself or have it filled out for you by a representative. To apply, you must pay $1,500. We only accept Visa, Visa Debit, and Mastercard Debit as forms of payment. 4. Make sure you have all of your supporting documents on hand. You must also have all of your supporting documents scanned and ready to submit when you apply, whether they are in English or French. Your application will be returned as incomplete and your application fee will be reimbursed if you do not comply.
