Latest OINP Draws 2023 (Ontario PNP)

By Ella Bergquist January 9, 2020 (Updated May 18, 2023) 7 min. read
OINP January 9 Draw

The Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP) regularly searches the IRCC’s Express Entry pool to find candidates who may meet the criteria of one of Ontario’s Express Entry immigration streams. The OINP collects individuals from the Express Entry Pool to personally invite them to live and work in Ontario. Some Ontario PNP streams use a CRS Score to help select candidates, where you must reach a certain CRS score in order to successfully immigrate through that specific stream.

Are you curious about your CRS score? Use our CRS score calculator and learn how you can improve your CRS score.

Are you wondering when the next Ontario PNP Draw will be? Our best prediction is at least one month from the previous draw.

Learn more about how the OINP process and application.

Entrepreneur Stream – Invitations to Apply issued

On April 22, 2020 the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued 26 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) under the Entrepreneur Stream (OINP:ES). Expressions of Interest (EOIs) received and scored by the OINP:ES between November 22, 2019 and April 17, 2020 were eligible for consideration for this ITA Round. ITAs were issued for EOIs that received a score of between 132 and 200.

If you received an ITA, you do not need to contact the program. You will receive two emails containing login information and instructions for submitting an application.

If you received a notice that your EOI was eligible to receive an ITA but did not receive an ITA this round, the EOI scored below 132. An EOI remains eligible to receive an ITA for 12 months from the date it was submitted to the OINP.

March 4, 2020, Ontario PNP Update

Update: Employer Job Offer: International Student and Foreign Worker Streams

The OINP received 1322 successful registrations during the March 3rd opening of the Employer Job Offer: International Student and Foreign Worker streams.

Individuals who successfully completed registration and received a file number have 14 days to submit an application.

The OINP will continue to monitor intake of applications across all streams to determine when the Employer Job Offer: International Student and Foreign Worker streams will reopen in 2020.

March 3, 2020, Ontario PNP Update

OINP now accepting applications to the Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is now accepting applications to the Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream.

Once the intake limit has been met, the system will automatically prevent further registrations from being submitted. Should the limit be met outside regular business hours, a notice will be posted on this page the next business day.

January 16, 2020, Ontario PNP Update

Ontario has introduced minor proposed changes to this stream.

The following amendments to the OINP stream criteria are proposed:

• Introduce limits on the number of applications for approval of an employment position that can be submitted in a calendar year that is proportional to the size of the employer’s workforce, as follows:

1 application per 5 existing permanent and full-time employees (employment position within the GTA)

1 application per 3 existing permanent and full-time employees (employment position outside the GTA)

List of targeted NOC codes



Once Ontario finds candidates they want, the individual will receive a Notification of Interest (NOI). After one has received an NOI, they will have to submit their application to the OINP if they qualify for one of Ontario’s Express Entry streams. Learn more about the Ontario PNP program: OINP (Ontario Immigration Nominee Program).

Visaplace, Nadia and her team did excellent job. They are super eager to help you out even if this firm is pretty busy place, I always get a response in one business day. Nadia has a sweet heart that she’s taking a big responsibility out of your case. My situation was complicated and hard. I was freaked out from dealing with CBSA and we had a several phone calls. She explained to me how to deal with each steps and truly understood my situation. Her expertise is amazing. I wish I was in Toronto and visit them to say Thank you in person. They are fantastic. Thank you so much!

I am very impressed with the quality of service, transparency and technology provided by VisaPlace. I had a chance to work with many lawyers and law firms and very few come close.

VisaPlace helped a few Ukrainian colleagues that I referred, and they were very satisfied with the experience

Yasmeen Ali was the direct contact i was working with. She is absolutely the best agent i met. Very professional and very friendly at the same time. She was so helpful and patient, especially during Covid times.She answered all my questions and emails to renew my husbands PR. I would definately recommend this firm especially if you live abroad. Ask for Yasmeen Ali, the friendliest and most efficient agent! Thank you again Yasmeen….all the others working with her seem also very professional and efficient…they also followed up during her absence.

We were switched legal teams 3 times within our time there.( This was not our doing) We weren’t impressed at all with the service almost all the way through our experience. Our review would have been 1 star. The response time was awful. To get in contact with our attorney was so difficult. And not thorough. Almost at the end, when we were almost ready to file, we got switched again, but this time, we are thankful. The attorney we got then was Andrew Diamond. He is fantastic and the reason for the 5 star rating. This is his rating. He was phenomenal. Absolutely amazing and prompt with response time and very knowledgeable, thorough and so helpful. We couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you Andrew for all you did for us!
