Question 1 of 12
Which best describes you?Job-offer applicants are scored on their hourly wage and time in the job-offer position. Self-employed physicians are scored on their Ontario medical practice instead, and the hourly-wage factor does not apply to them (their maximum is 117, not 132).

Understanding your OINP Workforce Priority score
On June 25, 2026, Ontario closed all eight former OINP streams — including the Masters Graduate and International Student streams — and launched a single Ontario Workforce Priority stream built around a qualifying job offer. On July 20, 2026, Ontario published the stream's full eligibility criteria and a points-based Expression of Interest (EOI) scoring grid. The EOI intake opened on August 4, 2026. Everyone who registers is scored out of 132 points and Ontario invites the highest-ranked profiles in periodic draws.

Self-employed physicians are scored on their Ontario medical practice rather than a wage, so the hourly-wage factor (15) does not apply and their maximum is 117.
No fixed pass mark
Unlike a fixed cut-off, Ontario invites the highest-ranked profiles in each draw, so the minimum invited score will vary from draw to draw. Treat your estimate as a way to compare and improve your profile — a higher wage, a stronger NOC category, more Ontario experience, and a work location outside Toronto all move the number up.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ontario Workforce Priority stream?
On June 25, 2026, Ontario permanently closed all eight of its former OINP streams and replaced them with a single Ontario Workforce Priority stream, built around having a qualifying Ontario job offer. On July 20, 2026, Ontario published the stream’s full eligibility criteria and a points-based Expression of Interest (EOI) scoring grid. Its factor maximums add up to 132 since the October 5, 2026 earnings change.
Can I apply now?
Yes. The EOI intake system opened on August 4, 2026. You register an Expression of Interest through Ontario’s portal, and Ontario invites the highest-ranked profiles in periodic draws. Use this tool to estimate your EOI score and strengthen your profile before you register.
What score do I need to get invited?
There is no fixed pass mark. Ontario will invite the highest-ranked profiles in each draw, and the cut-off will vary from draw to draw. Use your estimated score to gauge and improve your profile, not as a guaranteed threshold.
Why do self-employed physicians max out at 117 instead of 132?
The hourly-wage factor (worth up to 15 points) only applies to applicants with an employer job offer. Self-employed physicians are scored on their Ontario medical practice instead of a wage, so their maximum possible score is 117.
Is this calculator official?
No. MaplePath transcribes the official ontario.ca grid so you can estimate your score, but only the OINP’s own assessment is authoritative. Always confirm the current criteria on ontario.ca.
