The Ontario Immigration Points Calculator 2018 is the official Ontario Points Calculator that helps the candidates to calculate their score for immigration to Ontario under Canada’s Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). Scoring enough points under this helps in getting a provincial nominee certificate which later speeds up the process of immigrating to Canada.
For being eligible to get a provincial nomination certificate the candidate need to fulfil the express entry Canada requirements. The Ontario Immigration Points Calculator 2018 helps you in assessing the required eligibility for Ontario immigration under Ontario Express Entry. The file for getting a Ontario provincial nominee certificate will be accepted by the province only if the candidate scores the required points on this points calculator grid which means that only if the candidate scores above 400 points on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Calculator then he/she will be seen as eligible to apply to Ontario under the Provincial Nominee Programs for Canada immigration.
