What does the OINP points calculator do?
The OINP points calculator adds up your points on the scoring factors Ontario published for the Workforce Priority stream. It covers where you work, your occupation, wage, Ontario work experience, earnings, status, education and language.
Skilled workers need a job offer from an Ontario employer. Self-employed physicians apply without a job offer and are scored on their medical practice in Ontario.
Does Ontario set a pass mark?
Ontario’s scoring page does not state a pass mark. It scores every EOI and invites the highest-ranking candidates, so a higher score helps.

Five mistakes that skew your OINP score
A wrong input gives a wrong score. Watch for these.
Picking the wrong region
Points depend on where the job is, not where you live.
Counting the wrong months
Ontario counts full-time work in the job offer position, not all your work.
Using the wrong wage
Use the hourly wage written on the job offer.
Scoring wage as a physician
Wage points apply to job offer applicants. Physicians are scored on medical practice instead.
Expecting a pass mark
Ontario invites the highest-ranking candidates. A score is a comparison, not a guarantee.
