The most commercially active province in Canada, Ontario provides a multitude of options for foreigners wishing to work, study, and apply for permanent residence. One of the main factors influencing economic immigration to Canada is the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).
What is a notification of interest?
When a candidate receives a notification of interest, it means that:
- They already have an Express Entry profile set up with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
- The candidate has chosen Ontario or All Provinces and Territories while setting up their Express Entry Profile.
- After the Express Entry profile is set up, the province searches the pool of Express Entry candidates to choose individuals with particular backgrounds to invite to apply for permanent residency.
- These picked individuals receive a Notification of Interest (NOI) in an Express Entry draw if they meet the requirements of certain categories, which could be:
- Skilled Trades,
