Work Experience

In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have?

It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time).

Note: In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official list of all the jobs in the Canadian labour market. It describes each job according to skill type, group and level.

'Skilled work' in the NOC is:

managerial jobs (NOC Skill Level 0)
professional jobs (NOC Skill Type A)
technical jobs and skilled trades/manual work (NOC Skill Type B)

If you aren’t sure of the NOC level for this job, you can find your NOC.

In the last 10 years, how many total years of foreign skilled work experience do you have?

It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B).

Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory or federal body?

Note: A certificate of qualification lets people work in some skilled trades in Canada. Only the provinces, territories and a federal body can issue these certificates. To get one, a person must have them assess their training, trade experience and skills to and then pass a certification exam.

People usually have to go to the province or territory to be assessed. They may also need experience and training from an employer in Canada.

This isn’t the same as a nomination from a province or territory.

Additional Points

Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment ( if needed)?

A valid job offer must be

full-time
in a skilled job listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B in the 2011 National Occupational Classification
supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or exempt from needing one
for one year from the time you become a permanent resident

A job offer isn’t valid if your employer is:

an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada or
on the list of ineligible employers.

Whether an offer is valid or not also depends on different factors, depending on your case. See a full list of criteria for valid job offers.

Which NOC skill type or level is the job offer?

You can use our online tool to find out if you don’t know.

Do you have a nomination certificate from a province or territory?

Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?

Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:

18 years old or older
related to you or your partner by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption
have a parent in common with you or your partner

A brother or sister is related to you by:

blood (biological)
adoption
marriage (step-brother or step-sister)

What is the highest level of education for which your spouse or common-law partner's has:

earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate; or
had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)? (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)

To get the correct number of points, make sure you choose the answer that best reflects your case. For example:

If you have TWO Bachelor’s degrees, or one Bachelor’s AND a two year college diploma, choose – “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”

In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada does your spouse/common-law partner have?

It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in one or more NOC 0, A or B jobs.

Your CRS Score

All Express Entry candidates get a score out of 1,200, based on the four parts of the Comprehensive Ranking System formula.

We invite the highest-ranking candidates from the pool to apply as a permanent resident through regular “rounds of invitations.” See what minimum scores have been in the past.

Ontario is not only Canada’s second largest province but is also decorated with beautiful lakes and landscapes, and boasts of a thriving economy that offers a great destination for immigration applicants looking to relocate permanently from India.

As multitudes of immigration applications are received every year, Ontario’s provincial government established an Ontario Provincial Nominee Program to ensure the selection of the most efficient and deserving candidates for its provincial nomination.

How to calculate your OINP points with OINP Points Calculator 2023?

Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program – OINP has an “enhanced” stream that allows the province to search for skilled immigrants with required skills in the federal government’s express pool. This stream is the Human Capital Priorities Stream. Through this stream, express entry candidates can apply for provincial nomination under OINP.

To be eligible for the Ontario provincial nominee program (OINP)’ Human Capital Priorities Stream, candidates are first required to clear the 67 points system. Once they clear the 67 points system, they are able to create an express profile and are submitted into the express pool with the profiles of the other candidates.

The minimum requirement to be considered for OINP is 400 CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) points. Following are the factors that can assist you in calculating your OINP points with the help of What is the breakdown of points allocated on Ontario PNPOINP points Calculator.

What is Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP)?

As a major hub of economic activity in Canada, Ontario’s provincial government runs OINP as its immigration program to select the best immigration applicants for settling permanently in Ontario and contributing towards its growth. Through this program, Ontario businesses can get a chance to hire skilled workers from across the globe. A category of the Ontario PNP program is run in sync with the federal government’s Express Entry system.

The Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP) allows foreign workers, international students and others with the right skills, experience and education to apply for a nomination for permanent residence in Ontario.
The program is:
Operated by the Ontario government in partnership with the federal government through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)

Designed to help Ontario meet its labour market and economic development needs

Many professionals choose to move to Ontario because of its immigration-friendly policy and easy-to-attain permanent resident status. Keeping in line with the policy of the federal government, Ontario immigration authorities give priority to professionals with high skills in demand in the local job market.

How can I get selected under the Ontario PNP Program in 2023?

If you have the skills, educational qualifications and work experience as desired by Ontario immigration authorities, you can apply for nomination for Permanent Residence in Ontario.

For selection, you should fall under one of the following categories of Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP) and meet all requirements.

What are major categories and streams of OINP?

There are three major categories with many sub-categories or streams under each.

CATEGORY 1: Human Capital Category:

This is the most popular category for Indian skilled workers.

International Graduate stream: If you have a master’s degree or a PhD from a valid Ontario university, you become eligible for application under this stream.
Ontario Express Entry: If you have an Express Entry profile and receive an NOI i.e. Notification of Interest inviting you to apply for OINP through IRCC’s online account, you become eligible for application under this stream if you meet the mandatory requirements.

Streams under Ontario Express Entry system:

French-speaking Skilled Workers
Human Capital Priorities Stream
Skilled Trades Stream

CATEGORY 2: Ontario Job Offer Category

If you have a valid job offer for full time work from an Ontario based employer, you qualify to apply under this category.

Foreign Workers Stream
International Students Stream
In-demand Skills Stream

CATEGORY 3: Business Category

This category is not very popular with Indian immigration in general but some applicants may find it suitable.

Corporate Stream
Entrepreneur Stream

How to migrate to Ontario from India in 2023? HCP Stream is your best option!

For potential migrants from India, the most popular immigration stream is Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Priorities (HCP) Stream.

This is a unique stream as it tracks your Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) in the federal Express Entry Pool of candidates under Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP) or Canada Experience Class (CEC). You may refer to Ontario Points Calculator 2023 for finding your CRS score and eligibility.

The HCP stream identifies candidates in the Express Entry pool that:

Have the desired education and skills for productive settlement in Ontario,
meet the minimum CRS score i.e. 400 points in 2023 and
meet all eligibility criteria for Human Capital Priorities (HCP) Stream.

It considers factors like your education, work experience details, spouse or common law partner details, skill transferability, Ontario job offer etc.

If I score 400 CRS on Ontario PNP Calculator, what do I do next?

On establishing clearance of CRS benchmark and a match with their current skilled labor eligibility requirements, Ontario authorities share with you a Notification of Interest (NOI) as an invitation to apply under the OINP for Canada PR Visa. You need to apply for PR Visa within 45 days of getting an NOI.

Note: NOI is no guarantee of your eligibility or selection; we suggest that you consult top Immigration consultants in Delhi for best advice on Ontario immigration.

Does the Ontario PNP use the same point calculation system as that of the Express Entry?
