OINP STREAMS REVOKED
With the new OINP changes where all current streams are being revoked on May 30, 2026, does anyone know if the old eligibility rules will also disappear?
Specifically, I am asking about the Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream and its requirement to apply within 2 years of graduation.
If the new OINP streams replace the current ones, is it possible that the 2-year graduation window will be removed?
My situation:
Occupation: NOC 33102 (Personal Support Worker)
Working in a long-term care home in Ontario
Graduated more than 2 years ago
Under the current rules, I am no longer eligible for the International Student Stream because the 2-year graduation window has passed.
I am also concerned because NOC 33102 is currently not eligible under the In-Demand Skills Stream, since that stream mainly targets TEER 4 and 5 occupations in specific sectors.
Do you think PSWs in long-term care could become eligible under the new OINP streams, possibly without the 2-year graduation restriction?
Would appreciate any insights or updates.
