The Ontario Government plans to amend the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) to increase eligibility for international students. The proposed legislation focuses on revising requirements for those in one-year college graduate certificate programs, with over 900 such programs across the province. This offers international students who previously considered moving to other provinces a better chance for permanent residency. The changes, possibly approved next week and implemented early next year, also ban Canadian work experience as a job prerequisite, facilitating more qualified candidates to progress in the interview process.
