Dear future neighbour,

As of February 26, 2024, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has implemented a new requirement for its application process. Moving forward, all applicants are mandated to include a consent form along with their applications. This form likely signifies the applicant’s acknowledgment and authorization for the processing of their application by the OINP. Applicants are advised to ensure compliance with this updated procedure to avoid any delays or complications in the processing of their immigration applications.

The consent form must be completed, correctly dated, signed by the applicant, signed by the applicant’s spouse and dependents (if applicable) and uploaded with other documents in the application.

See below important changes to note for OINP applications:

  1. The PDF Attestation form for OINP Expression of Interest system stream applications is no longer required.
  2. The Applicant Consent form must be completed after receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) or a Notification of Interest (NOI).
  3. This form cannot be signed by your representative on your behalf.

Applicants must carefully review the stream-specific document checklist to ensure that the mandatory documents are submitted when applying to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).

Dear future neighbour,

In the city of Toronto, Ontario you can rent a three bedroom apartment for an average of $4,384 in the city centre. This is according to statistics available on Numbeo.com which are gathered from residents of the city.

Unfortunately, accommodation cannot be the only factor you consider when moving to a new city. It’s worth noting that rental prices can vary depending on the neighborhood, building amenities, and other factors. While Toronto offers a wide range of cultural, entertainment, and employment opportunities, the cost of housing remains a significant consideration for residents. For the next month, we will review these factors and recommend cities based on statistics to help you make an informed decision.

See below in descending order the full list of the cities where rent is most expensive in the city centre in the province of Ontario:

  1. Toronto – $4,384
  2. Markham – $3,766
  3. Mississauga – $3,733
  4. Richmond Hill – $3,666
  5. Vaughan – $3,600
  6. London – $3,350
  7. Ottawa – $3,311
  8. Sarnia – $3,250
  9. Woodstock – $3,250
  10. Waterloo- $3,225
  11. Orillia – $3,200
  12. Burlington – $3,150
  13. Guelph -$3,128
  14. Brampton – $3,125
  15. Pickering – $3,033

Dear Future Neighbour,

Ontario sets up new measures to better improve the quality and welfare of International Students in the province. All schools and institutions in the province are expected to make housing arrangements available for students.

This measure by the province is coming after the announcement by the IRCC Minister to set a cap on the intake of international students into Canada for each province.

For better monitoring and implementation of these measures, the following will be looked at:

1. For Universities and Colleges: The province would make sure that the programs offered to students are what employers are seeking for in the job market, this way the students have something to fall back on after graduation for sustainability.

There will be no more creation of new public-private partnerships with colleges as efforts are made to improve supervision procedures.

Also steps will be taken to ensure that the highest academic results are being attained by increasing the response rate to student outcome surveys.

It will be mandatory for all colleges and universities to provide assurances regarding the availability of accommodation choices for incoming overseas students.

2.  For Career Institutes:

To improve the oversight of vocational colleges and ensure quick responses to complaints and concerns. This includes improving data management, documentation procedures, and the effectiveness of compliance investigations. The Ontario government also intends to work alongside federal and sector partners to put an end to false recruiters that take advantage of international students and also false claims on employment and citizenship.
