Ontario's nominee program now takes applications only through the new Workforce Priority stream. Most jobs need CLB 6 or higher in all four skills (CLB 5 for skilled trades), from a test taken within 2 years. Ontario accepts only CELPIP-General: when you register, choose IRCC purposes and IRCC as the receiving institution.

Who this affects: People applying for Ontario permanent residence through the OINP
