Ontario’s immigration program consists of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program and the Ontario Express Entry. The OINP is an immigration program for persons who have job offers in Ontario and also a program that assists employers to find qualified job seekers. Employers or prospective investors apply through the program to recruit or retain foreigners or impermanent residents. If their applications are approved by the province of Ontario, then the recruited or retained persons will be nominated for permanent residence in the country. After nomination, those people must then apply for permanent residence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
