How it works:
You are first required to create a profile on the OINP e-Filing Portal, and register your Expression of Interest (EOI).
Ontario regularly holds provincial draws to invite the highest-ranking candidates in the pool. If you are invited, you will receive a notification in the portal and you will have to submit your application within 14 calendar days. You can submit your application through your ONe-key account.
