Draw Details: April 23, 2026 OINP Draw

• Stream: Employer Job Offer: International Student
• Date: April 23, 2026
• Minimum CRS Score Cutoff: 87
• Region Targeted: Eastern Ontario
• Additional Details: Targeted draw for Eastern Ontario. Refer to the OINP Program Updates page for more information.

This draw is part of OINP’s ongoing strategy to address regional labor market needs. By focusing on Eastern Ontario, the program aims to attract and retain international graduates who can contribute to local economies outside the Greater Toronto Area.

Who Is the Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream For?

This stream is designed for international students who have graduated from a recognized Canadian institution and have a permanent, full-time job offer from an Ontario employer. Key eligibility requirements include:

• Completion of a program of at least two years (one year for certain programs) at an eligible institution in Canada
• At least half of your studies completed in Canada
• A valid job offer classified under NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3
• The employer must have been in active business in Ontario for at least three years

The CRS score of 87 is relatively low compared to Express Entry draws, making this stream an attractive pathway to Canada PR for graduates who meet the criteria.

What Should You Do Next?

If you received an invitation in this OINP draw, you now have 14 calendar days to submit a complete application online. Prepare the following documents:

• Job offer letter and employer form
• Proof of graduation (degree, diploma, or transcript)
• Valid passport and legal status in Canada
• Language test results (if applicable, though generally not required for this stream)
• Any supporting documents requested by OINP

If you did not receive an invitation, don’t lose hope. The OINP typically holds multiple draws per year for this stream. Consider strengthening your profile by:

• Securing a job offer in an in-demand NOC code
• Checking if your job offer is in a region OINP prioritizes (like Eastern or Northern Ontario)
• Improving your CRS score through higher language test results or additional education

Ontario immigration remains highly competitive, but targeted draws like this one show the province’s dedication to spreading economic growth across all regions.
