There are no extra REDI-specific criteria or a separate application; candidates can be selected through targeted draws.<\/p>\n What invited candidates need to do next<\/p>\n Candidates who received an invitation must submit a complete application to the OINP within the program\u2019s deadline (60 days) and requirements.<\/p>\n After receiving a provincial nomination from Ontario, successful nominees can apply directly to the federal government of Canada for permanent residence<\/a> (PR).<\/p>\n
