The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has issued 15 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) in the Entrepreneur Stream. The minimum score was 127. Expressions of Interest that were scored by September 12, 2019 were the only ones eligible for consideration for this draw.

The Entrepreneur Stream is an immigration stream under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). This stream is for entrepreneurs from outside of Canada interested in starting a new business or buying an existing business in Ontario.

It gives an entrepreneur (and up to one foreign national business partner) the opportunity to be nominated for permanent residence once their business has been established in Ontario.

The Entrepreneur Stream application is a two-stage process.

Stage 1

1. Register an expression of interest by email

2. If invited, submit an online application

3. The entrepreneur and business partner (if applicable) attend a mandatory in-person interview at the OINP office in Toronto

4. If their stage 1 application is successful, they must sign a performance agreement

Stage 2

1. They get a temporary work permit support letter to enable them to apply to IRCC for a temporary work permit

2. Establish the business – they have 20 months to implement their business plan and submit a final report

3. If their business meets all requirements, they are eligible for nomination for permanent residence.
