Ontario PNP issued invitations to applicants with Expression of Interest (EOI) scores between 142 and 200 points.
Applicants who have received an invitation to apply do not need to contact the program. The Ontario PNP will send two emails, one with login information, the other with instructions on how to complete the application.
Applicants who were eligible but did not receive an invitation to apply in this round still have the option of being invited for 12 months from the date of submission.
This is Ontario’s fifth entrepreneur draw for 2020, bringing the total number of invited entrepreneurs to 112. Eligibility criteria for the Entrepreneur Stream depend on where the business is being proposed in Ontario. Recent reforms have also reduced the minimum net worth and investment requirements.
For the proposed business in the Greater Toronto Area, the equity required is now $ 800,000, compared to $ 1.5 million, and the required investment is now $ 600,000 compared to $ 1 million.
Entrepreneurs looking outside of the Greater Toronto Area need a net worth of $ 400,000 instead of $ 800,000. The minimum investment is changed to $ 200,000 instead of $ 500,000.
Work experience as an owner or senior manager of 24 months in the last 60 months is required. Previously, 36 months of experience within the same time frame was the minimum requirement.

Ever since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
