Get an OINP Tech Draw Invitation

The first step towards getting an OINP tech draw invitation is to create an Express Entry profile. 

Express Entry is an application management system for the three economic-class immigration programs. The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) are the three.

All Express Entry candidates are ranked according to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores. The scoring system is based on age, education, work experience, English or French proficiency, and other factors.

The OINP tech draws pull candidates from the Express Entry pool. They invite eligible tech workers to apply for provincial nomination.
