OINP Draw March 25, 2026: Employer Job Offer Foreign Worker Targets Eastern Ontario

Overview of the March 25, 2026 OINP Draw

On March 25, 2026, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued Notifications of Interest (NOIs) under the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream. This was a targeted draw for applicants with a job offer in Eastern Ontario. The minimum score cutoff was 57 points.

This draw is part of Ontario’s strategy to attract skilled workers who can contribute to regional economic development. The OINP draw score of 57 reflects a competitive but achievable threshold for many applicants with a valid job offer and relevant experience.

Understanding the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream

This stream is designed for foreign workers who have a permanent, full-time job offer from an employer in Ontario. Key requirements include:

• Job offer: Must be in a skilled occupation (NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3).
• Employer: Must have been in active business for at least three years and meet revenue thresholds.
• Work experience: At least two years of paid, full-time work experience in the same NOC as the job offer.
• Intent to reside: You must demonstrate an intention to live and work in Ontario.
• Legal status: If already in Canada, you must hold valid temporary status.

Unlike Express Entry streams, this OINP stream does not require a CRS score to be invited—applicants are scored based on factors like job offer, language ability, and regional focus. However, once nominated, you can later apply for Canada PR through the provincial nomination pathway.

Who Should Apply or Express Interest?

If you have a valid job offer from an employer in Eastern Ontario and meet the stream’s requirements, this draw signals strong regional demand. Even if you didn’t receive an NOI this round, consider checking if your NOC code aligns with targeted occupations in future draws. For those already in the OINP Expression of Interest (EOI) pool, ensure your profile is updated with correct job offer details and contact information.

Next steps for potential applicants:

• Confirm your job offer meets the stream’s criteria (including wage and job offer validity).
• Gather supporting documents: employer forms (e.g., Employer Form 1), work experience letters, and language test results.
• Monitor the OINP Program Updates page for any changes in eligibility or documentation.
