Ontario PNP Invites 1,893 Candidates Across Employer Job Offer Streams
Ontario has once again confirmed its role as a top destination for skilled immigrants. On September 3, 2025, the Ontario PNP issued a total of 1,893 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) under its Employer Job Offer streams. This move highlights Ontario’s strategy of attracting in-demand talent already working and studying in Canada.
Two streams were targeted:
- 1,134 invitations went to candidates under the Foreign Worker Stream
- 759 invitations were issued under the International Student Stream
The focus? Filling labour gaps in priority occupations, especially in sectors like healthcare, trades, and education.
Breakdown of the Ontario PNP Draw
| Stream | Invitations Issued | Score Criteria | Target |
| Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream | 1,134 | Score 42+ | Priority occupations |
| Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream | 759 | Not disclosed | Priority occupations |
This approach helps employers retain qualified talent while providing international students and foreign workers with a direct route to permanent residency.
Why the OINP Employer Job Offer Streams Matter
The OINP Employer Job Offer streams are crucial for candidates who:
- Already hold a valid job offer from an Ontario employer
- Have experience or qualifications in targeted occupations
- Are you legally working or studying in Canada
There are three key sub-streams:
- Foreign Worker Stream – for skilled workers in high-demand occupations
- International Student Stream – for recent graduates from Canadian institutions
- In-Demand Skills Stream – for candidates in lower-skilled but essential roles
Ontario is actively using these streams to balance its labour market and meet critical economic needs.
2025 OINP Invitations Issued So Far
| Stream | Total ITAs (2025) |
| Foreign Worker Stream | 3,433 |
| International Student Stream | 4,730 |
| In-Demand Skills Stream | 636 |
With nearly 8,800 ITAs issued in 2025, the Employer Job Offer category remains Ontario’s most active immigration pathway.
