How Does the OINP Score Calculator Work?
The OINP Score Calculator helps you estimate your Expression of Interest (EOI) score under Ontario’s Workforce Priority Stream. The calculator considers factors such as your occupation, wage, Ontario work experience, education, Canadian credentials, language ability, Canadian earnings and work or practice location.
Your estimated score can help you understand how your profile performs across the OINP scoring factors. However, your score alone does not determine whether you qualify for the program or receive an invitation to apply. You must also meet the applicable eligibility requirements for the stream.

The scoring information above is based on the current OINP Workforce Priority Stream information published by the Government of Ontario. OINP scoring factors and program requirements can change, so applicants should always check the latest official information before submitting an application.
Who Can Use the OINP Workforce Priority Stream?
The Ontario Workforce Priority Stream is designed for eligible applicants whose skills, education, work experience and employment background align with Ontario’s labour-market priorities. Having a high estimated EOI score does not automatically make an applicant eligible. Applicants must meet the specific requirements of the applicable OINP pathway in addition to receiving a competitive score.
Key OINP Eligibility Requirements
Depending on the applicable pathway, OINP applicants may need to meet requirements related to their employment, occupation, education, language ability, work experience, legal status and other factors.
Before relying on your calculator result, you should review the complete eligibility requirements for your specific OINP pathway. The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program can also use targeted invitations and selection criteria, so meeting a particular score does not guarantee an invitation.
Important factors to review:
Occupation: Your occupation and NOC classification may affect your score and eligibility.
Education: You may need to meet specific education requirements for your pathway.
Language: Your language test results must meet the applicable requirements.
Work Experience: Your work history must satisfy the relevant OINP criteria.
Employment: Job-offer applicants must meet the applicable employer and employment requirements.
Status in Canada: Some scoring factors depend on your current status in Canada.
Regionalization: Your Ontario work or practice location can affect your score.
Supporting Documents: You must be able to provide documents supporting the information in your application.
Your OINP Score Is Only an Estimate
The result generated by this calculator is an estimate based on the information you provide. It is not an official assessment by the Government of Ontario and does not guarantee eligibility, nomination or an invitation to apply. OINP requirements and selection criteria may change.
OINP Score vs Express Entry CRS Score
OINP scoring and Express Entry CRS scoring are two different systems. Your OINP EOI score is used within the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program’s selection process, while the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is used to rank candidates in the federal Express Entry pool.
An OINP score is therefore not the same as your Express Entry CRS score. If you are considering an Ontario nomination through an Express Entry-linked pathway, you may need to consider both your provincial eligibility and your federal Express Entry profile.

What is an OINP score calculator?
An OINP score calculator is a tool that estimates your Expression of Interest (EOI) score based on applicable Ontario scoring factors. It can help you understand how factors such as occupation, education, language ability, work experience, earnings and location may contribute to your score.
What is the maximum OINP score?
For the job-offer scoring framework represented by this calculator, the maximum score is 130 points. The actual score depends on the information provided and the applicable OINP pathway.
Does a high OINP score guarantee an invitation?
No. A high score does not guarantee an invitation to apply or nomination. OINP selection can depend on the applicable stream requirements, targeted invitations, labour-market priorities and other factors.
