following NOC codes:

• Language: A minimum of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 in English or in French;
• Settlement Funds: A minimum level of savings or income in Ontario; and
• Intent: An intention to reside in Ontario long term.
Note: Receiving a Notification of Interest does not mean you will be nominated under one of Ontario’s Express Entry
streams. Please consult the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program website and review the requirements of the stream that
interests you to ensure you meet both provincial and federal criteria.
