Note: If you provide bank statements that include a one-time large deposit, we may ask you to provide additional documentation to support that your funds are free of debt or liability.
You must intend to live in Ontario after you’re granted permanent residence. We determine this by examining your ties to Ontario, which can include things like:
If you are applying from within Canada, you must have legal status (visitor record, study permit, or work permit) at the time you apply and should maintain that status until the time of nomination.
You may apply if you are in ‘implied status’ at the time of your OINP application submission. ‘Implied status’ means that you submitted an application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to renew/extend your temporary status document (a visitor record, work permit, study permit) before its expiry date. You can remain in Canada and continue to work or study under the same conditions as your existing permit until a decision is made on your pending IRCC application.
If you choose to be assessed against the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), you must score at least 67 points on the six selection factors (education, language skills, work experience, age, arranged employment in Canada and adaptability).
Learn more about the Federal Skilled Worker Program and the six selection factors.
You must provide supporting documents to validate the information in your application and to prove you meet the eligibility criteria.
All supporting documents must be scanned and uploaded in your online application. Refer to the document checklist for Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Stream for a list of mandatory documents.
If a supporting document is not in English or French, you must provide a copy of the original document and a notarized translation of document. Please read Document translation and notarization for more information.
Remember, if you do not upload all the required documents, your application will be returned.

Authorizing a paid representative to assist you can be helpful but is not necessary. If you choose to use a representative, please follow the steps on how to appoint one.
