On September 3, 2025, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued 1,893 invitations to apply (ITAs) across two Employer Job Offer streams. The draw included 1,134 candidates under the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream and 759 under the Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream. Both draws targeted candidates residing in Canada and employed in priority occupations. With this latest round, Ontario has now issued 8,799 invitations in 2025 under its Employer Job Offer streams.
Breakdown of the September 3 OINP Draw
The draw highlights Ontario’s focus on filling labour shortages in key industries. Here’s the detailed breakdown:
| Stream | Number of Invitations | CRS/Score Range | Targeted Occupations |
| Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker | 1,134 | 42 and above | Priority occupations |
| Employer Job Offer: International Student | 759 | Not specified | Priority occupations |
This targeted approach helps Ontario address immediate workforce needs while offering skilled immigrants a pathway to permanent residence.
Why the Employer Job Offer Streams Matter
The OINP Employer Job Offer streams are popular pathways for candidates who already have valid job offers from Ontario employers. They are divided into:
- Foreign Worker Stream: For skilled workers with job offers in eligible occupations.
- International Student Stream: For graduates from Canadian institutions with job offers in Ontario.
By prioritizing these categories, Ontario ensures that both international graduates and experienced foreign workers can contribute to the province’s economic growth.
OINP Invitations to Date in 2025
Ontario has been consistent in holding draws through 2025. So far, invitations have been distributed as follows:
- Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream – 3,433 ITAs
- Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream – 4,730 ITAs
- Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills Stream – 636 ITAs
The strong numbers reflect Ontario’s demand for skilled professionals, particularly in priority sectors such as healthcare, education, and specialized trades.
What This Means for Candidates
Receiving an invitation to apply is the first step, but it doesn’t guarantee nomination. Eligible candidates must still meet all program requirements and submit complete applications within strict deadlines:
- Employers must submit a job approval application within 14 days.
- Applicants must submit their nomination application within 17 days after receiving their ITA.
A well-prepared application package, complete with accurate job offer documentation, proof of eligibility, and supporting records, significantly improves the chances of securing a provincial nomination.
