Choosing the appropriate stream

We compare your Express Entry profile, Ontario employment, education and occupational background with current OINP options.

Notification or invitation

Some streams require Ontario to identify a candidate; others require an expression of interest and invitation. Creating a profile does not guarantee selection.
