Ontario Skilled Worker through Express Entry

One of the immigration subcategories of the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program is the Ontario Express Entry Stream, which aligns with the federal Express Entry system designed for skilled workers. The points system for Ontario’s Skilled Worker stream also follows the Express Entry model, and by accepting an Ontario provincial nomination, you can receive an extra 600 points.

Immigration applicants to Canada can obtain permanent residency through the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program only if they have an active profile in the Express Entry system and receive an invitation from Ontario to submit documents for selection by the province.
