Toronto is Canada’s financial, corporate and communications capital and is one of the most thriving economies in the world.

The Entrepreneur Stream is an immigration stream under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). It is established under the Ontario Immigration Act, 2015 and its regulations. The pilot program managed by the Toronto Business Development Centre (TBDC), has been renamed to the OINP Entrepreneur Success Initiative (OINP-ESI).

The program was announced as part of the 2021 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review: Build Ontario, that would assist 100 immigrant entrepreneurs in establishing and growing firms around the province outside of the Greater Toronto Area.
