Rising Opportunities for Newcomers in Ontario Since 2010
A recent report from the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario sheds light on the promising integration of newcomers into Ontario’s labor market. The report highlights the significant role played by the employment outcomes of new permanent residents in steering the province’s economic growth. With a record-breaking influx of 227,424 international immigrants in 2022, immigrants have contributed to nearly two-thirds of the rise in Ontario’s workforce since the mid-2010s.
Ontario, a preferred destination for newcomers, attributes part of its appeal to the substantial allocation of nominations received for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). In 2023, the province received a staggering 16,500 allocations, almost doubling the figures from 2022.
As we explore more about opportunities in Ontario, the latest OINP PNP draw gives you that chance. Study the details of the recent OINP draws, where 1,481 candidates were invited across three streams – Employer Job Offer (EJO) – Foreign Worker, Masters Graduate, and PhD Graduate.
