OINP Attracts in 2025
These draws closely follow a different round of important invitations to apply issued by the OINP, with a total of 2,643 invitations to foreigners with vacancies in priority health professions. This brings the total number of invitations to be applied by the OINP in the first week of September to 4,536.
Earlier this year, the OINP announced that its provincial nomination allocation before 2025 had been reduced to 10,750, against 21,500 in 2024. In addition, Ontario has introduced changes to the application process for his employer offer flows.
The trekkings mentioned above only considered candidates whose employers have submitted vacancies via the new portal. Candidates who have drawn up EOIs before 2 July must collaborate with their employers to resubmit their profiles with the help of the portal to be taken into consideration.
