What is Opportunities Ontario: Provincial Nominee Program?
Opportunities Ontario: Provincial Nominee Program (Opportunities Ontario) is an immigration program that supports Ontario employers by facilitating the immigration of managerial, professional and skilled foreign workers and international students needed to meet their human resource needs. This is helpful where employers are having difficulty finding the skilled workers they need. Opportunities Ontario is employer-driven and has two categories: a General Category that will allow employers to recruit foreign workers, and an International Student Category that will allow employers to recruit international students. The program enables the province of Ontario to nominate people for permanent resident status, and have their application fast-tracked by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). CIC will still perform important functions such as security checks on applicants. There is a different route and process for immigrants applying directly to the federal government.
