Three pathways
Choose the branch that matches your situation
TEER 0–3 job offers
A permanent, full-time Ontario offer with the applicable experience or licensing route, education and language evidence. Recent Ontario graduates and listed skilled trades have specific rules.
TEER 4–5 job offers
A distinct route requiring nine months of qualifying experience in the actual position while lawfully residing and working in Ontario, plus CLB 4 and applicable education/licensing.
Self-employed physicians
A separate pathway for eligible physicians with an accepted CPSO certificate, good standing and OHIP billing eligibility. Job-offer and employer requirements do not apply.
Job-offer and employer requirements
Job-offer applicants need a permanent, full-time Ontario position—normally at least 30 paid hours weekly and 1,560 annually—at the applicable wage level. Employer position approval is required.
The position
The work must primarily occur in Ontario, be urgently necessary, avoid adverse labour-dispute effects, and meet current Job Bank wage rules. Changing wage data is verified manually rather than hardcoded.
The employer
The employer must satisfy operation, Ontario-premises, compliance, revenue, Canadian/PR employee-count and recruitment requirements. GTA, specified $500,000 regions and other Ontario locations have different revenue tests.
Expression of Interest scoring
Eligible candidates register an EOI and receive points for published factors including occupation, wage where applicable, Ontario experience, earnings, status, education, language and region.
Eligibility and EOI scoring are separate. A higher estimated score cannot cure a mandatory eligibility failure, and meeting eligibility requirements does not guarantee an invitation to apply. No minimum invitation cutoff is implied.
Application process
From employer submission to nomination review
Deadlines and documentary requirements matter.
Employer submits job-offer information
Where applicable, the employer starts in the Employer Portal. The applicant generally registers an EOI within 30 calendar days.
Applicant registers an EOI
The profile receives points based on supported published factors. Registration does not guarantee an invitation.
Ontario may issue an invitation
If invited, the employer generally has 14 calendar days for the position-approval application and the applicant has 17 calendar days for the nomination application.
Ontario assesses both applications
The program reviews eligibility, evidence and employer approval where applicable.
Federal permanent residence stage
If nominated, the applicant proceeds through the applicable IRCC permanent-residence process; IRCC makes the final decision.
Preliminary assessment
Check mandatory criteria and estimate your EOI score
Questions adapt to your job-offer or physician pathway. Current wage compliance and judgment-based evidence remain flagged for professional review.
