Ontario to introduce Expression of Interest system for OINP
On September 8, 2020, the government of Ontario announced the plans to introduce the Expression of Interest system for several streams of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). The EOI system will serve the Employer Job Offer Category (Foreign Worker; International Student, and In-Demand Skills streams); Masters Graduate Category; and Ph.D. Graduate Category. All these streams are usually opened for a short time, but all the spots are taken within minutes, causing chaos and criticism towards the OINP. The EOI system may eliminate those problems and help organize the intake process based on the points system and ITA issuance for each stream. These amendments to the Ontario Immigration Act are now posted on Ontario’s Regulatory Registry for public consultation until October 23, 2020. Ontario plans to determine suitable points grid and factors to be considered (education, language, work experience etc.).
