Ontario French Speaking Skilled Worker Stream: Am I Eligible?
Ontario French Speaking Skilled Worker Stream: Am I Eligible?
If you are fluent in French and wish to become a Canadian Permanent Resident, you may have more chances to apply for a Permanent Residence through this stream.
This stream is part of the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The province invites skilled workers from the Express Entry (EE) Pool who can demonstrate fluency in both English and French. This stream works only on an invitation basis, which means the only way to apply is by being selected through the Express Entry system.
You will need to comply with all of the other PNP requirements. The provincial nomination will grant the applicant 600 points for their Express Entry profile, assuring an Invitation To Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

If your Express Entry profile is selected by the province, you will receive a Notice of Interest (NOI). You will then have 45 days to submit your application through the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) e-Filing Portal.
If the province accepts your application, you will receive the Provincial Nomination and be able to apply for a new Express Entry draw with an additional 600 points being added to your profile just for the provincial nomination.

Create an EE Profile.
Receive an NOI.
Apply for the OINP.
Receive the Provincial Nomination.
Reapply for EE with the Provincial Nomination.
Receive the ITA.
Submit the application for the Canadian Permanent Residence.
