Key Details

Earlier in 2025, Ontario’s overall allocation for provincial nominations was cut by about 50% to 10,750 spots. Because of this, the province has been holding more targeted draws instead of larger, open ones. The August 28 draws continue that strategy after the big rounds held in June.

Next steps for candidates

If you received an invitation, you must log in to your OINP e-Filing Portal to apply. The deadline is listed in your ITA notice. Make sure to follow all instructions carefully.

How the RCIP Process Works

Applicants need to:

  • Find a job offer from a designated employer in Sault Ste. Marie

  • Meet all eligibility requirements, including work experience, language, and education

  • Get a recommendation from the community

  • Apply to the federal government for permanent residency through the RCIP

This program helps Sault Ste. Marie fill job shortages, supports local businesses, and encourages newcomers to settle in the community for the long term.

Other communities, such as Timmins and Thunder Bay, are also participating in the RCIP and have published their own lists of designated employers.

Dear future neighbour,

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has introduced amendments to its Human Capital Priorities (HCP) and French-Speaking Skilled Worker (FSSW) streams, allowing self-employed physicians to use their work experience to meet the program’s eligibility requirements.

These changes align with recent federal policy updates, making it easier for self-employed physicians to qualify for permanent residency in Canada.

Eligibility for Self-Employed Physicians

Under the new amendments, applicants can count periods of self-employment towards the work experience requirement if their experience falls under one of the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes:

NOC 31100 – Specialists in clinical and laboratory medicine

NOC 31101 – Specialists in surgery

NOC 31102 – General practitioners and family physicians

This change is particularly significant as self-employed work experience was traditionally not considered under the Express Entry system. Now, eligible physicians can benefit from these adjustments when applying to Ontario’s Express Entry streams.

Choosing a Federal Program for Assessment

Applicants to the HCP and FSSW streams must choose one of two federal programs to be assessed against:

1.Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

2.Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

The key change applies to applicants selecting the Canadian Experience Class (CEC): they can now use self-employment experience to meet the required work experience criteria if their occupation falls under one of the designated NOC codes listed above.

Restrictions on Other NOC Codes

These amendments do not apply to applicants with self-employment experience in occupations outside NOC 31100, NOC 31101, and NOC 31102. Other professions must continue to meet standard employment requirements under the existing OINP and federal Express Entry criteria.

Alignment with Federal Policy

These changes reflect recent federal updates that recognize the challenges self-employed physicians face when applying for permanent residency. In April 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced a policy allowing self-employed physicians in publicly funded healthcare systems to count their experience towards Express Entry eligibility.

By implementing these amendments, Ontario aims to attract and retain more physicians, addressing labor shortages in the healthcare system while ensuring a streamlined pathway to permanent residency for qualified medical professionals.

January 29, 2025

Dear future neighbour,

Ontario has introduced changes to the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), allowing self-employed physicians to qualify without a traditional job offer.

Previously, applicants to this stream needed a job offer from an Ontario employer, which disqualified many physicians working as independent contractors and billing through the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). However, recognizing the province’s ongoing need for healthcare professionals, Ontario has updated its immigration rules to accommodate these professionals.

New Eligibility Criteria for Physicians

As of January 27, 2025, self-employed physicians can now apply under this stream without a job offer if they meet the following requirements:

•They must be registered and in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) under one of these certificate categories:

•Independent practice

•Academic practice

•Postgraduate education (which permits patient care)

•They must be eligible to receive payment for publicly funded health services under the Health Insurance Act, 1990.

This change applies specifically to physicians classified under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes 31100, 31101, and 31102.

Alternative Pathways for Physicians

For physicians who do not qualify under this updated stream, other immigration options remain available:

OINP Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream – Physicians can enter the federal Express Entry pool and wait for a Notification of Interest (NOI) from Ontario.

Federal Express Entry & Public Policy for Physicians – A federal public policy introduced on April 25, 2023, helps self-employed physicians obtain permanent residence. This policy allows physicians working under publicly funded payment models to meet federal economic immigration criteria.

What This Means for Ontario’s Healthcare Sector

Ontario’s decision to expand the eligibility criteria for self-employed physicians acknowledges the urgent demand for healthcare professionals. By easing immigration barriers, the province aims to retain and attract more doctors to support its growing population.

N/A Targeted draw for Economic Mobility Pathways Project candidates

These invitations were specifically directed at candidates who may qualify for the federal Economic Mobility Pathways Project (EMPP).

The EMPP is a federal initiative designed to facilitate the immigration process for skilled refugees by connecting them with economic immigration pathways. By participating in this project, Ontario aims to support skilled refugees in obtaining permanent residency and contributing to the province’s labor market.

The Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream under the OINP allows foreign workers with a valid job offer in Ontario to apply for a provincial nomination, which can significantly enhance their chances of obtaining Canadian permanent residency. The targeted invitations issued on January 15, 2025, reflect Ontario’s commitment to supporting skilled refugees through the EMPP.

January 20, 2025

Dear future neighbour,

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has launched the Regional Economic Development through Immigration (REDI) pilot program, which runs from January 2, 2025, to December 31, 2025. This initiative aims to attract up to 800 skilled immigrants to four rural and northern regions in Ontario:

  • Lanark,
  • Leeds and Grenville
  • Sarnia-Lambton
  • Thunder Bay

Below is a detailed overview of the program, including its objectives, application process, eligibility criteria, and a comparison of the job offer streams involved.

Objectives of the REDI Pilot

The REDI pilot is designed to address labor shortages in critical sectors such as healthcare, technology, and skilled trades. By attracting skilled workers to these regions, the program aims to enhance local economic growth and ensure that communities can effectively meet their workforce needs.

Application Process

Candidates must follow these steps to apply for the REDI pilot:

1. Expression of Interest (EOI): Register an EOI with OINP.
2. Job Offer: Obtain a full-time job offer from an employer in one of the participating regions.
3. Nomination: Receive a provincial nomination from OINP to apply for permanent residence through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the REDI pilot program, applicants must meet specific requirements based on one of the OINP’s Employer Job Offer streams. Below are the eligibility criteria for each stream:

Employer Job Offer Streams

Stream Job offer requirements Candidate requirements

If a candidate is already employed in the position, the wage offered must be equal to or higher than what the employer currently pays for that role, in addition to meeting the low wage level.
