How to Qualify for OINP Express Entry Draws
To qualify for an OINP Express Entry draw, you must have a valid Express Entry profile and an intention to settle in Ontario. There is no need to create a separate OINP profile; the program reviews Express Entry profiles and sends notifications of interest directly to eligible candidates.
Please note that receiving a notification of interest does not guarantee that you will meet all eligibility criteria or that your application will be approved. It is crucial to review the eligibility requirements thoroughly before responding.
