Ontario, the most popular province among newcomers, has released its immigration results for 2021. The provincial immigration program invited 9,000 applicants. It does not count those who immigrated through federal programs and settled in Ontario or those who moved from other provinces.
Immigration streams
The most popular stream with the highest number of invitations was the Human Capital Priorities stream. It sent 3,513 invitations. The stream is designed for candidates who are registered in the federal Express Entry system, have higher education and a good knowledge of English or French.
The next stream was the Foreign Worker stream, which called for 1,705 applicants. The requirements are not as high, but you must have two years of qualified work experience and find an employer in Ontario. Such factors as language skills, education and age are not counted in this stream.
Two other streams that also invited many candidates are the International Student (1,240 candidates) and the Masters Graduate (1,202 candidates).
