On January 10, Ontario issued 404 invitations to apply to candidates in the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). Two of the invitations were issued as part of the Economic Mobility Pathways Project. The draw targeted candidates with skilled trades occupations who have full-time job offers in a skilled occupation at TEER category 0, 1, 2 or 3 of the National Occupational Classification (NOC). Eligible candidates required a score of 35 and above.
The province announced on December 22 that it had invited the maximum number of candidates allocated for the year. In total for 2022, Ontario issued invitations to 9,750 candidates.
The province says new applications, and applications already submitted to the OINP, will continue to be accepted and considered under the program’s 2023 nomination allocation.
