Ontario
Capital: Toronto
Canada's economic engine — and its top destination for newcomers.
Overview
Ontario welcomes more immigrants than any other province, drawing skilled workers to the Greater Toronto Area's finance, technology, and healthcare sectors. Most newcomers arrive through federal Express Entry, while the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) offers province-specific streams that can fast-track candidates in priority occupations.
Who it's for
Skilled professionals in tech, finance, healthcare, and the skilled trades — especially those targeting the Greater Toronto–Waterloo corridor.

Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
The OINP lets Ontario nominate skilled workers, international graduates, and in-demand tradespeople for permanent residence. Several streams are aligned with Express Entry, so a provincial nomination can add decisive points to your federal profile. Streams open and close through the year — check the official OINP page for current openings.
