If you’re invited.

The size and frequency of the Expression of Interest (NOI) selection are determined by the OINP’s application backlog at that time. OINP draws are usually held on a monthly basis - with some exceptions. The dates of the next Ontario PNP draw will not be posted before they take place.

If you have been selected from the pool of candidates, you may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) to the OINP. However, an ITA does not mean that you qualify for one of the OINP streams. Once you have received an ITA, you may apply online if you qualify under the stream identified in your ITA. You must submit your application within 14 calendar days of receiving the ITA.
