326 Masters Graduates Invited By Ontario PNP

Ontario held its second Master’s Graduate stream draw on August 25 inviting 326 master’s graduates. Invited candidates needed an Expression of Interest (EOI) score of at least 37 to receive an invitation, a slight decrease from the first draw.

Earlier this month, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) launched its EOI intake system for Masters’s Graduate candidates. International students who graduated with a master’s degree from an eligible Ontario institution can now register for immigration through this Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) at any given time.

There is a system you need to follow to be considered for the Master’s Graduate stream. You require signing up with Ontario’s e-Filing Portal then registering an expression of interest for your graduate stream. Ontario then invites eligible candidates to apply for a provincial nomination, which greatly supports any application for Canadian permanent residence.

Candidates do not need a job offer to apply for this program but they will have to apply for the nomination within two years of graduating. Ontario ranks EOI profiles based on several human capital factors that the province has decided will be important in selecting immigrants with the potential to thrive. You will be given points based on the skill level of your job offer as well as your Canadian work experience.

The OINP scoring system is different depending on which stream you apply for. Other than skill level and work experience, it also takes into account your wage, education, official language ability, and the region in which you study or work. The province also allocates 10 points at its discretion to respond to labor market needs.
