Points for Ontario’s EOI profile
Ontario gives points to candidates registered in the Expression of Interest system based on human capital factors.
Candidates get points for the level of their skills in the job offer and for Canadian work experience.
Further, the scoring system varies according to the different immigration streams. Candidates get points for their education, language ability, wage, and place of study or work. And the province gives 10 additional points as per the labor market needs.
