On March 23, 2022, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) released important data about the 2022 selections.

More than 60% of the nominations in 2022 were issued directly to the Express Entry profiles.

Furthermore, OINP has much higher PNP allocation (16,500) this year making the program even more attractive.

Manufacturing, construction, and professional, scientific, and technical services were the main industries sponsored by the OINP in 2022.
