The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has issued 2,487 invitations to apply in four Employer Job Offer categories. The September 10 draws majored on health and skilled trades professions through the International Student Stream.

Here is a summary of the invitation issued:

1. Ontario Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream

The largest number of invitations issued in the latest draws came under the International Student Stream. A total of 1,823 invitations were issued through two draws:

806 invitations were issued to candidates in health-related professions, reflecting Ontario’s priority to strengthen the healthcare sector. The score range for this draw was 67 and above, and it included profiles created between September 10, 2023, and September 10, 2024.
An additional 1,017 invitations were extended to candidates working in skilled trades, also with a score range of 67 and above.

These targeted draws demonstrate Ontario’s effort to address gaps in essential sectors like healthcare and skilled trades by encouraging international graduates to contribute to the provincial economy.

2. Ontario Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills Stream

In a General Draw for the In-Demand Skills Stream, 649 invitations were issued. This stream targets workers in occupations facing labour shortages. The score threshold for this draw was relatively low, set at 34 and above, enabling a broader pool of candidates to qualify. Profiles considered were created between September 10, 2023, and September 10, 2024.

3. Ontario Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream

A smaller, specialised draw was conducted under the Foreign Worker Stream. 15 invitations were issued to candidates under the Economic Mobility Pathways Project (EMPP), a pathway designed to help skilled refugees enter the labour market. This targeted draw did not require a minimum score and is part of Ontario’s commitment to assist skilled workers from vulnerable backgrounds.
