Application Process
Applying through the PhD Graduate Stream is a multi-step process that requires careful preparation and attention to detail. Commune One Immigration is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that your application is strong and meets all the necessary criteria.
- Expression of Interest (EOI)
- Begin by submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) e-Filing Portal. This allows you to be considered for an invitation to apply for provincial nomination.
- Invitation to Apply (ITA)
- If your EOI is selected, you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for provincial nomination. This is where the real work begins, as you’ll need to submit a complete application with all required documents.
- Provincial Nomination
- Once your application is reviewed and approved by the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), you will receive a provincial nomination. This nomination increases your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score in the Express Entry system, making you a top candidate for permanent residency.
- Permanent Residency Application
- With your provincial nomination, you can now apply for permanent residency through the federal Express Entry system. This final step brings you closer to your goal of becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
