How can I become eligible for the OINP Express Entry draws?
To qualify for OINP Express Entry draws, you must hold a valid Express Entry profile and intend to move to Ontario.
There’s no need to create a separate OINP profile, as Ontario’s PNP automatically reviews Express Entry profiles and issues notifications of interest to eligible candidates directly through the Express Entry system.
However, it’s important to note that meeting the eligibility requirements doesn’t guarantee you will receive a notification of interest. Likewise, receiving a notification doesn’t ensure you meet the stream’s criteria or that your application will be approved.
It’s crucial to carefully review the program’s eligibility requirements before responding to a notification of interest.
