Proposed changes to Employer-Supported Streams of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program

The government has proposed regulatory changes to three employer-supported streams under the OINP. Specifically, the proposal is as follows:

1. The In-Demand Skills Stream: add thirteen (13) new manufacturing related NOC Codes for employment positions outside of the Greater Toronto Area (“GTA”) and remove the settlement funds requirement.
2. Introduce limits on the number of applications that can be submitted by an employer under the International Student and Foreign Worker Streams. Employment to a limit that is proportional to the size of the employer’s workforce.
