The OINP General Draw targeted workers in the French-speaking Skilled Worker stream. The Francophone skilled workers required a score ranging between 348 and 434 points for selection.
These are the main eligibility requirements to apply under Ontario’s French-speaking Skilled Worker stream:
- Active Express Entry profile
- French language proficiency of Level CLB 7 and above
- English language proficiency of Level CLB 6 and above

With some exceptions, Ontario conducts weekly rounds of invitations under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program across various streams.
