As per an update by the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program [OINP], the OINP Expression of Interest [EOI] system is “now open for intake” for 2 OINP streams.

The province of Ontario is a part of the Provincial Nominee Program [PNP] of Canada.

The EOI system is now open for the following immigration pathways under the Ontario PNP’s category of Employer Job Offer.

OINP – EOI system open for intake
Category Stream
Employer Job Offer Foreign Worker
Employer Job Offer International Student

Earlier, the OINP had announced the launch of an EOI system for 5 OINP streams.

Other streams to soon be open through the EOI system –

  • Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills stream,
  • Masters Graduate stream, and
  • PhD Graduate stream.

According to the OINP, “The expression of interest system will remain open throughout the year and you can register an expression of interest at any time.”

Do ensure that all stream criteria is met successfully before registering an expression of interest.

An EOI profile will be valid for –

  • Up to 12 months, or
  • Till the time that an invitation to apply is issued by the OINP, or
  • The registration is withdrawn by the candidate.

An EOI with the OINP will automatically be deleted after 12 months.

For an international worker or those with a job offer, registering an EOI with the OINP will be the first step towards being nominated for permanent residence in Ontario.

Registration of an EOI is required in order to let the OINP know the intention of the individual of being willing to be invited to apply by Ontario PNP.

An EOI is not the same as a visa application, and not to be regarded to be similar to applying to the OINP or applying for Canadian permanent residence.

It is through the EOI system that the OINP gathers important information required for the purposes of ranking the candidates against one another. Candidates, that is, meeting the labour market and employment requirements within the province.

Only one expression of interest per OINP stream can be registered by a candidate at any given time.

How to register an EOI with the OINP?

  • Begin by creating a profile in the OINP e-Filing Portal.
  • Now, read the specific application requirements for the stream intended.
  • Ensure that the eligibility requirements are met by you.
  • You can then proceed to registering an EOI profile, for one or more OINP streams.

The information provided in your EOI must be accurate at the time of registering, or later updating, your expression of interest.

Those invited to apply – by the OINP through the EOI system – will be expected to submit their application within 14 calendar days [from the date of receiving the invitation].
