The Ontario government is considering modifications to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) to broaden eligibility for international students seeking the provincial nominee program (PNP).
A new legislation aims to redefine OINP criteria, particularly benefiting over 900 one-year college graduate certificate programs across the province.
This change offers hope to international students facing challenges in obtaining permanent residency, often prompting them to explore opportunities in other provinces.
Moreover, the proposed legislation aims to restrict the use of Canadian work experience as a requirement in job advertising or applications, facilitating the progression of qualified candidates in the interview process.
Approval for these changes may come as early as next week, with implementation slated for early next year.
