OINP International Student Stream Updates for 2024

OINP International Student Stream Updates for 2024

At CIA Immigration, we’re committed to supporting individuals in pursuing a new chapter in Canada. We’re pleased to share vital updates to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), explicitly targeting the International Student category, with changes implemented starting January 2024.

The Ontario government has broadened the scope of its International Student stream within the OINP, effectively increasing the pool of international graduates eligible for permanent residence. A notable inclusion is the acceptance of applicants with a one-year Ontario College Graduate Certificate, a substantial departure from the previous more restrictive eligibility criteria. This enhancement paves the way for various skilled and accomplished graduates to become part of Ontario’s dynamic and diverse society.

Before these groundbreaking amendments, the eligibility for the International Student stream was narrower, with only graduates of one-year certificate programs requiring a previous degree for entry being considered. But as we usher in 2024, the criteria have been relaxed, now encompassing a majority of one-year Ontario college graduate certificates as viable qualifications towards permanent residence under the umbrella of the OINP.

Applicants must know that a critical requirement of the OINP International Student stream remains—the necessity for a permanent, full-time job offer in Ontario. This stipulation underscores the OINP’s intention to attract and keep proficient workers who can satisfy local labour market demands.

Prospective applicants should also consider that submissions lodged before the 1st of January 2024 will be governed by the rules in effect before this update. These modifications to the International Student stream reflect the province of Ontario’s dedication to bolstering its appeal to international students and nurturing an environment that values their skills and potential.
