Hi Guys,

Do you feel OINP will have one more masters draw before the stream is closed? I am on 61 points after i maxed out Celpip just today.

Hello everyone, I received invitation under employer job offer Foreign worker stream and trying to apply by myself.
My OINP portal(after ITA) shows application status: submitted even without filling full application.

Employer already submitted his part

Job Offer FSW score 57

Noc 21231, Toronto based.

Hello guys. This might be a dumb question, but do I have to select Canada at the very beginning of the EOI to qualify for the invitation if there’s another draw by May 30?

I’ve submitted my EOI a couple of days back, but since I’m not in Canada right now I’ve chosen where I’m physically at instead. Later I realized the two draws in March and April actually require that “candidates must currently reside in Canada with a valid study or work permit.” So I wonder if anyone has received the ITA even the country of residence in EOI isn’t Canada.

TIA!

Hi, any group chat for those invited last April 30, 2026? Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to check the current status of applicants from the Feb 18, 2026 OINP Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream draw.
If you applied from that draw, could you please share:
Date you submitted your application
Current status (Submitted / Assessment / DIP / Nomination)
Date of last update or status change
Stream category (if comfortable sharing)

Hello,
My employer created OINP job offer but they put the wage as 27.30. However, my actual wage is 26.30 which is above the median wage. I have been working with the same company for a while.
Will this create any issues if I get ITA?

Guys, just wondering whats your current status after ITA.
March 18th and April 22nd draws*

Hi Everyone,

I recently got an ITA from Employer Job Offer: International Students Stream (ISS). But I got to know today, that my current wage is not met the low wage level criterion for my NOC in Windsor-Sarnia region where I am working.

Actually what has happened is the Job Bank has updated the wages in November, 2025. This criterion was met when my employer creates the job offer in the OINP portal and when I submits the EOI in September, 2025. However, by the time that I get the invitation, low wage has gone up which is now more than my hourly wage.

At this moment, I have submitted my documents and paid the application fee. Do you think that I or my employer should provide a letter of explanation via a webform regarding this? Or else, am I good on this since, I met this criterion which is relevant for the job offer when we submits the EOI?

Can anyone who was in the same situation comment your experience/advice please?

I got invitation under employer job offer foreign worker stream. My salary in offer letter is greater than median wage however, my current salary is less than the median wage. My employer is ready to increase my wage to match the median wage level once nominated. I just want to confirm if there will be any problem since my current wage is less than median wage?

Hello netizens, I was invited under the Foreign Worker Stream (Eastern Ontario) in the April 23 draw. My employer already completed their part, and I submitted the application myself. I tried my best to provide all the information and documents they asked for. I also sent a copy of my ECA to OINP through WES.

Just wondering if there’s anything else I should be aware of or if I might be missing something. I’m honestly done spending money on lawyers at this point and can’t afford to hire one anymore. Any advice from people who went through the process themselves would really help.

Thanks!

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.

Hi, the official website says the two-year requirement is based on the date you complete the degree requirements. But my academic record only shows the date the degree was conferred. Will I be safe to refer to that date? Or is it the date I finished my final exam of the last course? There is around a one-month gap in between.

Thanks!
