WHAT STEPS SHOULD YOU TAKE?
Step 1: Create Express Entry Profile
For a chance to be invited to apply under OINP Express Entry Stream, you must create an Express Entry Profile (➨page) for yourself. Within your Express Entry profile make sure you have stated an interest in immigrating permanently to Ontario.
Since you are eligible under one of the two economic immigration programs (Federal Skilled Workers Program or Canadian Experience Class), you will be accepted into the pool of candidates.
You’ll be ranked in the Express Entry pool using a points-based system called Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) (➨page). Your score is based on the information in your profile.
The Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP) regularly searches the Express Entry pool to find candidates who may meet the criteria of one of Ontario’s Express Entry immigration streams.

You have 30 calendar days to accept or refuse the nomination in the Express Entry system.
If you accept, you will receive an additional 600 points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) (➨page) for being nominated, which means you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence from Government of Canada in the next round of invitations, which are usually done every two weeks. You then have 60 calendar days to submit your application for permanent residence.
Step 3: Apply for Permanent Residence
You can only apply for permanent residence (➨page) through Express Entry if you’ve received an invitation to apply.
Your Express Entry invitation to apply is valid for sixty (60) days only.
Step 4: Landing in Canada
If your application is approved, you will be asked to pay your right of permanent residence fee if you haven’t already done so. You will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) and if you are from a country that requires a visa you will also be issued a permanent resident visa.
You will only become a Permanent Resident of Canada when you cross a Canadian port of entry. This is referred to as ‘landing in Canada’ (➨page).
You must land in Canada before the expiry date, which appears on your Canada Immigration Visa. Usually, the expiry date is one (1) year from the time medical examinations were completed. As this is not always the case, be sure to verify the expiry date as soon as the Canada Immigration Visa is received.
