Toronto, ON – The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is set to welcome more skilled workers and entrepreneurs in 2024, following the federal government’s recent announcement of the province’s nomination allocation. For the year 2024, Ontario has been granted an allocation of 21,500 nominations, marking a significant opportunity for individuals seeking to make Ontario their new home.

The OINP plays a pivotal role in Ontario’s strategy to bolster its workforce and stimulate economic growth by attracting skilled immigrants. The program offers a variety of streams for workers, students, and entrepreneurs interested in permanent residence in Ontario, aligning with the province’s economic and labor market needs.

Applicants are selected through the Expression of Interest system or through the federal Express Entry system. It’s important for potential applicants to note that the OINP does not provide advance notice for the timing of these draws. Therefore, maintaining an updated profile and monitoring the program’s announcements is crucial for interested candidates.

This increased nomination allocation comes at a critical time when many sectors in Ontario are facing labor shortages. It reflects the federal government’s confidence in Ontario’s ability to integrate and support newcomers in contributing to the province’s vibrant economy and diverse communities.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements and streams offered by the OINP, including those for skilled workers, international students, and business owners. The program’s various streams are designed to address the specific needs of Ontario’s labor market, ensuring that newcomers can successfully establish their careers and lives in the province.
