Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (OINP)
Expression of Interest Scoring Factors

In 2021, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) introduced a new Expression of Interest (EOI) intake system. Applicants interested in being nominated under certain OINP streams are first required to submit an EOI directly to the OINP via the OINP Portal. Applicants are then scored based on the information in their EOI. Use our robust OINP calculator to see how many points you have under the EOI intake system.

To be invited to apply for permanent residence under Express Entry, you also have to have sufficient Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points. Use our CRS calculator (COMING SOON) to see whether you have enough points to be invited to apply.
