Ontario introduced a new Employer Portal and Employer-Driven EOI system. Now, an employer must first submit an approved job offer before candidates can register Expressions of Interest (EOIs).
Regional Focus: Ontario continues to prioritize northern and underserved regions, aligning immigration with local labor needs.
Stream-Specific Strategy: Targeting distinct streams ensures both recent international graduates and skilled workers can benefit.
Strengthened Employer Role: The new portal places greater emphasis on employer verification and accountability, potentially increasing the program’s integrity.
Confirm Your Stream & Region: Are you eligible under Foreign Worker, International Student, or In-Demand Skills—and does your job offer fall within Northern Ontario or REDI regions?
Ensure Your Employer Submits Job Approval: Your employer must apply via the Employer Portal. Without this, your EOI won’t be considered.
Watch Your Inbox: If invited, employers have 14 days to submit their job application for position approval. You will have 17 days to submit your OINP application via the e-Filing portal upon receiving your Invitation to Apply.Immigration News CanadaCanada Immigration ServicesCIC TIMES
Stay Updated: Plan ahead for potential future invitations. Despite a slower roll-out compared to previous years, Ontario remains committed to strategic immigration through targeted draws.
