The OINP Masters Graduate Stream continues to be a strong pathway for international students aiming for permanent residency (PR) in Canada. With Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores in Express Entry applications staying high, exploring alternatives like the OINP is essential for students.
By opting for a master’s degree at a recognized Canadian university, international students can bypass the complexities of obtaining Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) and managing payrolls. This approach allows them to focus on their education while enhancing their chances for a successful immigration process.
