Ontario has overhauled its immigration nomination program, reducing its existing eight streams to four as the province looks to better match immigration with labour market needs and fill workforce shortages across key sectors.
The Ontario government said the revamped Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) will simplify application pathways, strengthen eligibility requirements and reduce duplication while giving the province greater flexibility to target workers with in-demand skills. The changes took effect immediately under the Ontario Immigration Act.
