Ontario invited 15 candidates with an expression of interest registered under its Entrepreneur Stream to apply in a draw held September 20.
The minimum required score in this draw was 127 and only those whose expression of interest was scored by September 12, 2019, received an invitation to apply.
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)'s Entrepreneur Stream is for foreign entrepreneurs who would like to start a new business or buy an existing one in Ontario.
Candidates approved for a temporary work permit have 20 months to establish their business in Ontario and submit a final report to the OINP, which determines if the terms of their performance agreement have been met.
Approved candidates can then apply for a nomination from the OINP for Canadian permanent residence.
