The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program issued invitations to 22 entrepreneur candidates in the second invitation round of 2019 held April 5.<\/p>\n

The minimum score for this invitation round was 112.<\/p>\n

Ontario’s\u00a0Entrepreneur Stream\u00a0is designed to attract foreign nationals who can establish a new business in Ontario or purchase an existing one.<\/p>\n

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) Entrepreneur Stream is available to an individual applicant (and one business partner) who meet the minimum eligibility requirements of the stream. To begin the process of applying, international entrepreneurs must review and ensure they meet the mandatory requirements of the program. The proposed or existing business must not be listed as an ineligible business by the OINP.<\/p>\n

Invited candidates\u00a0who are approved under the OINP Entrepreneur Stream can obtain a Temporary Work Permit\u00a0support letter from the OINP\u00a0\u2014\u00a0based on a signed performance agreement\u00a0\u2014\u00a0to establish their business in Ontario.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How the OINP Entrepreneur Stream works<\/h3>\n

The OINP Entrepreneur stream functions on a self-declared points-based\u00a0Expression of Interest (EOI) system. This means when interested individuals submit an expression of interest in applying to the program, they receive a score out of a maximum 170 points. EOI points are awarded based on three categories: Experience factors, Investment factors and Human Capital factors. <\/p>\n

The minimum personal investment requirement for the OINP Entrepreneur Stream varies based on the location of the proposed business*:<\/p>\n
