Ontario Makes Big Changes to Immigration Program

Focus on Jobs 💼

Ontario has updated its OINP immigration program to make it faster and more focused on real jobs. A new Employer Portal launched on July 2, 2025, lets employers upload job offers directly, starting the immigration process themselves.

Early Childhood Educators Get a Boost 👶

If you're a registered early childhood educator, you can now apply without needing a Canadian diploma. This makes it easier for qualified childcare workers to settle in Ontario.

New Rules for Applicants and Employers 🧾

The province now has the power to interview applicants and return applications that don’t meet its standards. Employers must register in the portal before candidates can submit their Expression of Interest (EOI).

What You Should Do ✅

Employers should use the portal and upload job details. Applicants must wait until that’s done before submitting an EOI.
