How can I qualify for OINP Express Entry draws?
To be eligible for OINP Express Entry draws, you must have a valid Express Entry profile and plan to immigrate to Ontario.
There is no need to create a separate profile for OINP, as the Ontario PNP automatically reviews Express Entry profiles and sends notifications of interest directly to qualified candidates within the Express Entry system.
However, OINP emphasizes that “meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee a notification of interest, and receiving a notification of interest does not guarantee that you meet the stream’s criteria or that your application will be approved.”
It is essential to thoroughly review the program’s eligibility criteria before responding to a notification of interest.
