Eligibility for the Ontario PNP depends on the specific stream chosen. Generally, candidates must have relevant education, skilled work experience, and language proficiency in English or French. Many streams require applicants to have ties to Ontario, such as a job offer, prior study, or work experience in the province. For Express Entry–linked streams, candidates must meet federal criteria under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, or Canadian Experience Class. Additional requirements include settlement funds and intent to reside in Ontario. Each stream has tailored criteria, so applicants must check the exact eligibility before applying.
