Since the draws are part of the Ontario Provincial Immigration Program (OINP)’s Human Capital Priorities Stream, a job offer is not required.
To be able to get an application considered under the Human Capital Priorities Stream, a candidate needs first to create a profile in the Express Entry system.
Applicants must meet federal and provincial criteria to qualify for permanent residency in Canada. The provincial nomination gives an additional 600 points in the Express Entry system, effectively guaranteeing an invitation to apply for a permanent residence permit in Canada.
