The stream enables OINP to select candidates who meet the eligibility criteria in education, skilled work experience and language ability from the federal Express Entry pool to invite to settle in the province.

In 2018, the initial nomination allocation granted to Ontario by the federal government was 6600. Upon reaching this target, it was further increased later. Besides French Speaking Skilled Worker Stream, Ontario also conducted draws in Human Capital Priorities, Skilled Trades and Entrepreneur Stream draws last year.
