Candidates for a key business stream of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program<\/a> (OINP) can now apply through the province\u2019s online application system.<\/p>\n The move \u2013 for applicants to the Ontario Corporate Stream<\/a> (OCS) \u2013 is aimed at reducing processing times.<\/p>\n The OCS business program is aimed at established international corporations that want to expand into Ontario or buy an existing Ontario business. Business applicants should also consider the Ontario Entrepreneur Stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n If an international corporation establishes itself in Ontario and abides by the rules of the program, five key members of the corporation that are essential to the establishment, operation and success of the business may be nominated by the Ontario government for permanent residence. Once nominated, an applicant qualifies to apply for Canadian permanent residence.<\/p>\n Step 1: Make Sure You Satisfy all the Criteria and Requirements of the OCS<\/b><\/p>\n Corporation Requirements<\/b><\/p>\n Investment Requirements<\/b><\/p>\n Local Job Creation Requirements<\/b><\/p>\n General Requirements<\/b><\/p>\n Step 2: Submit Application<\/b><\/p>\n If a corporation and key staff members fulfill all the above requirements an application can be submitted. All necessary documents must be completed truthfully. A business plan must also be submitted. The business plan will include details explaining:<\/p>\n There is an application fee of $3,500\u00a0per key staff member<\/i>.<\/p>\n Incomplete applications will not be considered.<\/p>\n Step 3: Application Assessment<\/b><\/p>\n After all required documents and fees are received, the application will be assessed. Key staff members may be required to attend a mandatory interview.<\/p>\n Step 4: Sign Performance Agreement<\/b><\/p>\n If the application is approved, the corporation will be asked to sign a Performance Agreement. The Performance Agreement will outline the rules that must be followed in order for the key staff members to be nominated for permanent residence.<\/p>\n Step 5: Temporary Work Permit<\/b><\/p>\n Once the Performance Agreement is signed, the key staff members will be sent a Letter of Confirmation. This letter will allow the key staff members to apply for a Temporary Work Permit from the Canadian government. If the key staff members meet all the relevant criteria of the Canadian federal government, they will receive a Temporary Work Permit.<\/p>\n Step 6: \u00a0Arrival and Business Establishment<\/b><\/p>\n Once the key staff members obtain temporary work permits, they should move to Ontario and begin implementing the business plan as soon as possible. One key staff member must inform immigration processing office of the corporation\u2019s arrival in Ontario within 7 days of arrival. Within 18 months of arriving in Ontario, the corporation must submit a report showing that it is abiding by all the rules of the OCS and the terms of the Performance Agreement.<\/p>\n Step 7: Nomination and Application for Permanent Residence<\/b><\/p>\n If the report is approved, the key staff members will be nominated for permanent residence by the Ontario government. The holder of a nomination certificate may submit an application for Canadian permanent residence to the federal government as long as the nominee continues to abide by the performance agreement and the requirements of the OCS mentioned above.<\/p>\n Step 8: Monitoring<\/b><\/p>\n If the key staff members obtain permanent residence, they will be monitored for an additional period of 36 months to make sure that the corporation continues to abide by all the rules of the OCS and the terms of the performance agreement.<\/p>\n Further reading<\/b><\/p>\n Candidates for a key business stream of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) can now apply through the province\u2019s online application system.
