Questions people ask
When is the next OINP draw?

On 26 June it removed all eight former OINP streams and replaced them with a single Workforce Priority stream, and the expression-of-interest portal opened on 4 August 2026.

Can I compare OINP draw scores with other provinces?
No. The OINP grid is scored out of 132, and every province uses its own grid and its own total, so a minimum of 80 means something different in each. Score yourself on the OINP calculator, which uses the grid Ontario published.
Federal Express Entry rounds and every other province are on the draws page. Also: BC PNP draws and AAIP draws.
