In a significant development, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (Ontario PNP or OINP) conducted its latest draw on October 17, 2024, inviting a total of 1,307 candidates from the Skilled Trades Stream. This marks the second round of invitations by the province in October, following the previous draw under the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream on October 8, 2024.
Candidates who received invitations in this Ontario PNP latest draw now have 45 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence (PR) to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program. If they fail to submit their application within this timeframe, the invitation will expire, potentially delaying their pathway to PR in Canada.

Understanding Ontario PNP's Skilled Trades Stream
The Skilled Trades Stream is a key pathway for skilled workers in Ontario who are eager to obtain permanent residency in Canada. This stream, part of Ontario’s Express Entry system, is designed to meet the demand for skilled workers in specific trades within the province.
Key requirements for this stream include:
- Living in Ontario with a valid work permit.
- At least one year of full-time work experience (or the equivalent in part-time) in an eligible skilled trade in Ontario, within the last two years.
- Work experience must align with trades in construction, industrial, electrical, or agricultural sectors.
- Candidates must meet language requirements, with a minimum score of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 5 in English or French.
- Applicants must also have a valid profile in the federal Express Entry system under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) or the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
One of the standout features of this stream is that it focuses on high-demand trades in Ontario. If you receive a provincial nomination through this stream, you’ll gain an additional 600 points toward your CRS score, which almost guarantees an invitation to apply for permanent residency.
