On March 23, 2022, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) released important data about the 2022 selections.

The OINP reached the annual PNP allocation of 9,750 nominations in December 2022.

This is an important data as it helps understand permanent residency (PR) seekers their chances of selection this year.

More than 60% of the nominations in 2022 were issued directly to the Express Entry profiles.

Furthermore, OINP has much higher PNP allocation (16,500) this year making the program even more attractive.

Overview of All the OINP Nominations

The OINP nominated people with employment offers from approximately 1,300 employers across all industries in Ontario in 2022.

Manufacturing, construction, and professional, scientific, and technical services were the main industries sponsored by the OINP in 2022.

More than 50% of these were Express Entry Federal Skilled Trades category. These Express Entry profiles had CRS score as low as 266.

So, OINP turned out to be a good option for FST applicants as there was no dedicated Express Entry draw for them since 2020.

Overall 40% of the nominations across all streams were issued to to individuals with work experience or a job offer in a skilled trade occupation.

Those with work experience or a job offer in a high-tech occupation received around 25% of all nominations.
