The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has implemented significant regulatory changes effective July 1, 2025, designed to better respond to Ontario’s evolving labour market demands. Key modifications include a new employer-led application process through the electronic Employer Portal, potential in-person interview requirements for employers and applicants, authority to return applications before nominations are issued, and relaxed education requirements for early childhood educators applying through specific streams. These strategic adjustments aim to enhance program integrity while prioritizing applications that address critical labour shortages.
