🧾 Ontario Moves to Tighten Oversight of Immigration Program

What’s Changing in Ontario’s Immigration System? 🛂
Ontario is proposing new rules under Bill 30 to strengthen how the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is managed. The goal is to improve enforcement and make the system more flexible, without changing how people apply.

More Powers for Inspections 🔍
The bill gives inspectors the right to hold private interviews with candidates and employers. This helps the government check for misuse of the program and ensure fairness.

Faster Program Updates ⚙️
Ontario also wants to give the immigration minister the power to make or change rules quickly, without waiting for full cabinet approval. This would help the OINP respond faster to labour market needs.

Fewer Spots, Longer Waits in 2025 ⏳
Ontario’s nomination allocation has been cut by 50% this year. This means longer wait times and more competition. The province says it will still focus on key workers in healthcare, tech, trades and construction.
