Ontario priority occupations and sectors

Ontario’s Workforce Priorities stream is built around occupations the province needs most, so your invitation chances depend heavily on whether your work falls into a targeted group. Ontario runs general and targeted rounds, and targeted rounds have repeatedly focused on health, skilled trades, technology and, at times, education and other in-demand fields. A profile that would not clear a general round can still be invited in a round aimed at its occupation.

Because the targeted list and the NOC codes inside it move during the year, treat the sectors below as the shape of Ontario’s priorities rather than a fixed list. Confirm whether your exact NOC is included, and in which round type, on the official OINP pages before relying on a score.

Health

Nurses, physicians, personal support workers and allied health roles

Skilled trades

Construction and industrial trades tied to Ontario’s labour needs

Technology

Software, data and other in-demand tech occupations in targeted rounds

Education and other targeted fields

Occupations Ontario adds to specific rounds as needs change

Occupation lists change. Ontario updates targeted occupations and NOC codes through the year. Confirm the current list and round type on the official OINP invitations page. View the official Ontario program page ↗

How this Ontario calculator works

Select the pathway that matches your circumstances. The calculator then applies the relevant maximum and removes the hourly-wage factor for self-employed physicians.

Your result combines the points selected for Ontario work region, NOC TEER, hourly wage where applicable, broad occupational category, Ontario experience, Canadian income history, education, Canadian credentials, language ability, bilingualism and temporary resident status.

This score is an estimate only. Eligibility requirements, documentation, legal status, occupation requirements and Ontario’s invitation priorities remain separate from the points total.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum Ontario Workforce Priority score?

The TEER 0 to 3 and TEER 4 to 5 pathways are calculated out of 130 points. The self-employed physician pathway is calculated out of 115 because hourly-wage points do not apply.

Does a high score guarantee an invitation?

No. Ontario may conduct general or targeted invitation rounds and may consider program priorities in addition to the score.

Is this an official Ontario government calculator?

No. This is an independent estimator based on the scoring details supplied for this page. Confirm all current requirements with Ontario before applying.
