Dear future neighbour,

On September 3, 2025, Ontario’s immigrant program sent out 1,893 PR invitations through the Foreign Worker and International Student streams.

These invitations focused on 77 priority occupations across healthcare, tech, construction, and more—just a day after the province had already sent out 2,643 invitations on September 2

On September 3, 2025, the OINP issued 1,893 ITAs across two streams under the Employer Job Offer category, targeting candidates with job offers in 77 priority occupations.

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

These draws follow an earlier round on September 2, when the OINP issued 2,643 invitations across three draws for foreign nationals with job offers in priority health occupations. This brings the total invitations in the first week of September to 4,536.

Earlier in 2025, the OINP confirmed its nomination allocation was cut to 10,750, down from 21,500 in 2024.

OINP Employer Job Offer Streams

Ontario’s Foreign Worker and International Student streams are direct pathways that don’t require Express Entry, linking job offers to provincial labor needs.

Foreign Worker Stream: Targets skilled workers with at least two years of experience (one for regulated jobs) in TEER 0–3 occupations. Applicants need a full-time job offer at or above the median wage and CLB 4+. In priority draws, the offer must fall within Ontario’s 77 in-demand occupations. After an ITA, the employer applies within 14 days, and the candidate has 17 days to submit their application. Ontario ties, like past work or study, can improve chances.

International Student Stream: Designed for graduates with job offers in TEER 0–3 roles. Candidates must have completed a two-year program (or one-year graduate program) at an eligible school in Canada or equivalent abroad. Same wage and language rules apply. Competition is higher here, with scores of 63+ often needed in fields like IT, healthcare, and engineering.

Both streams use the Expression of Interest system, awarding points for job details, education, language, and location — with extra points for offers outside the GTA.
