Expression of Interest Open for Five Streams
Ontario Expression of Interest is now open for five of its most popular streams:
Before applying to these streams, candidates must submit a profile to the Expression of Interest system.
Each profile is scored based on factors including education, language ability, skill and work experience among others (see below).
Ontario then selects candidates who are issued invitations to submit applications to one of the above streams.
Profiles in the Expression of Interest system can be updated at any time. An EOI profile is valid for 12 months or until an ITA is received.
Invitations to apply are issued periodically by the OINP. Draws are conducted on a general basis, by inviting the overall highest scoring candidates, or on a targeted basis, by targeting candidates who meet specific labour market or human capital requirements.
Candidates who receive an ITA have 14 days to submit a complete application.
