href=\"https:\/\/www.sehliglobal.ca\/news\/2026\/06\/04\/ontario-introduces-major-oinp-changes-what-applicants-need-to-know\/\">Ontario<\/a> has officially launched the first phase of a major redesign of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), replacing several existing immigration streams with a new pathway called the <\/span><b>Ontario Workforce Priority Stream<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The changes took effect on <\/span><b>June 26, 2026<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, following amendments to Ontario Regulation 422\/17 under the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario Immigration Act, 2015<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/2026-ontario-immigrant-nominee-program-updates?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Ontario government<\/a>, the redesign aims to simplify pathways to Permanent Residency, support employers facing labour shortages, strengthen program integrity, and improve access for businesses operating in rural and northern communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ontario Closes Eight Existing Immigration Streams<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of the redesign, Ontario has closed eight existing OINP streams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following streams are no longer accepting new applications:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employer Job Offer: International Student<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Master&#8217;s Graduate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PhD Graduate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Express Entry Human Capital Priorities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Express Entry French-Speaking Skilled Worker<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Express Entry Skilled Trades<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario has confirmed that the existing Expression of Interest (EOI) system is now closed to new registrations and that no further invitations will be issued under the former streams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EOIs and job offers that have not resulted in an invitation to apply will be withdrawn over the coming weeks as the province updates its EOI and application systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants, employers, and representatives affected by these changes will receive direct notifications from the province.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applications already submitted following invitations issued under former streams will continue to be assessed under the eligibility requirements that were in place when those applications were filed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ontario Workforce Priority Stream Expected to Open Later This Summer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario has announced that the new <\/span><b>Ontario Workforce Priority Stream Expression of Interest system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is expected to open later in the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The province says the new stream will provide pathways for applicants with job offers across <\/span><b>all National Occupational Classification (NOC) TEER categories<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including TEER 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 occupations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stream will also include a dedicated pathway for self-employed physicians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario says the redesign represents the first phase of a broader two-stage transformation of the OINP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The province expects the changes to help employers retain talent in hard-to-fill positions while introducing higher language and education standards for future nominees.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><b>TEER 0\u20133 Pathway<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The TEER 0\u20133 pathway will target internationally trained workers <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in <\/span><b>all TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 occupations with a full-time and permanent job offer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Ontario.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Requirements<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants will generally need to demonstrate one of the following work experience requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 consecutive months of experience within the previous 12 months in the job offer position with the employer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 consecutive months of experience within the previous 12 months for recent Ontario graduates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 years of cumulative experience within the previous 5 years in the same NOC occupation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Licensed occupations may be exempt from these work experience requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants will generally need to meet a minimum language requirement of <\/span><b>CLB 6<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, although some occupations may qualify with <\/span><b>CLB 5<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum education requirements include a post-secondary diploma or degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario has indicated that certain occupations may have alternate eligibility criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><b>Self-Employed Physicians\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most significant changes introduced under the redesign affects physicians.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-employed physicians may now qualify for the Ontario Workforce Priority Stream without requiring a job offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Requirements<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To qualify, eligible physicians must:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold a valid certificate of registration in an eligible class.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be eligible to bill through the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This change is expected to improve access to Permanent Residency pathways for physicians already practising in Ontario.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><b>TEER 4\u20135 Pathway<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario has also introduced a pathway for workers employed in TEER 4 and TEER 5 occupations <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with a full-time and permanent job offer in Ontario.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Requirements<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nine months of cumulative work experience within the previous two years in the position offered by the employer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A minimum language requirement of <\/span><b>CLB 4<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Canadian secondary school diploma or its equivalent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario has also announced lower employer revenue thresholds for businesses located in rural communities with populations below 150,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The province says these adjustments are intended to improve access to immigration pathways for employers outside major urban centres.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Program Integrity Measures Introduced<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The redesign also includes several compliance and enforcement changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario has reduced the response period for Notices of Intent to Issue Administrative Monetary Penalties or Ban Orders from <\/span><b>60 days to 30 days<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The province has also expanded the methods used to issue notices, allowing them to be delivered by email, mail, or in person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officials say these changes are intended to strengthen compliance activities and improve the province&#8217;s ability to respond more quickly to program misuse and fraudulent activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Applicants Should Know<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants who currently have an active Expression of Interest under one of the former OINP streams should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sehliglobal.ca\/news\/\">monitor communications from Ontario closely<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individuals interested in the new Ontario Workforce Priority Stream <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sehliglobal.ca\/book-an-appointment\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">should review the updated eligibility requirements and prepare for the reopening of the EOI system later this summer<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers who previously registered through the Employer Portal will not need to create a new account, but they will need to submit a new job offer and initiate a new application once the portal reopens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Role of Sehli Global<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario&#8217;s redesign represents one of the most significant changes to the OINP in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a licensed RCIC Canada immigration consultancy, Sehli Global helps applicants understand how evolving provincial immigration policies may affect their eligibility, assess available pathways, and prepare Permanent Residency applications under Ontario&#8217;s provincial nomination programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants seeking guidance on Ontario immigration pathways, Express Entry, or Permanent Residency options can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sehliglobal.ca\/book-an-appointment\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">book a consultation with Sehli Global<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario&#8217;s first phase of OINP redesign introduces a new Workforce Priority Stream, closes eight existing immigration streams, and establishes new eligibility requirements for applicants and employers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the new Expression of Interest system expected to open later this summer, prospective applicants should review the changes carefully and stay informed as Ontario continues implementing the second phase of its program redesign.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ontario
