Ontario is a prime destination for immigrants seeking better opportunities in Canada. The Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (OINP) offers a streamlined path to permanent residency for skilled workers, graduates, and job seekers. Additionally, the Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) allows permanent residents without a valid PR card to return to Canada hassle-free.
At Wellington Immigration Services, we provide expert guidance on both OINP and PRTD applications, ensuring a smooth and successful process. Whether you’re planning to settle in Ontario or need assistance with travel documentation, our team is here to support your Canadian immigration journey.
Why Ontario is a Top Destination for Immigrants?
With strong job opportunities, high incomes, and a diverse cultural landscape, Ontario is home to both the country’s capital, Ottawa, and its largest city, Toronto. If you’re looking to immigrate to Canada, the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (OINP) offers a streamlined path to permanent residence. Wellington Immigration Services specializes in guiding applicants through this process, ensuring a smooth and successful application experience.
Understanding the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (OINP)
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) was established in 2007 to address labor shortages, attract skilled workers, and facilitate the economic integration of newcomers. Initially, the province could nominate only 1,000 candidates per year, but today, it nominates over 15,000 individuals annually.
There are two primary types of OINP streams:
- Enhanced Streams: These are aligned with Canada’s Express Entry system, granting nominees an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, significantly boosting their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
- Base Streams: These operate independently of Express Entry. Candidates must apply directly to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) after receiving a provincial nomination.
Ontario Immigration Streams
Candidates can apply under three main categories:
- Express Entry Streams – For skilled workers, French-speaking workers, and tradespersons.
- Masters and PhD Graduate Streams – For international graduates from Ontario universities, with no job offer required.
- Employer Job Offer Streams – For candidates with a job offer from an Ontario employer.
PRTD Applications – Ensuring Smooth Travel for Permanent Residents
The Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) is crucial for permanent residents who do not have a valid PR card but need to travel back to Canada. If you are outside Canada and cannot obtain your PR card, a PRTD allows you to return.
To qualify for a PRTD, applicants must:
- Prove they meet the residency obligation (physical presence in Canada for at least 730 days in the last five years).
- Demonstrate strong ties to Canada if the residency requirement is not fully met.
Wellington Immigration Services provides expert assistance with PRTD applications, ensuring accurate documentation and a high approval rate.
