In a significant development for aspiring immigrants, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) launched its first invitation round of the month on October 30, 2023. This draw marked a pivotal moment for 1,117 candidates, who received invitations under the Masters Graduate Stream and PhD Graduate Stream, signaling an exceptional opportunity for these individuals to pave their path towards residency in Ontario.

One of the primary highlights of the recent OINP draw was the stipulation that international graduates vying for the invitations needed to meet a minimum score of 42 and above to qualify. This criterion underscores the province’s commitment to attracting highly skilled individuals who can contribute significantly to Ontario’s dynamic and flourishing labor market.
