Ontario Includes 35 Additional Jobs in Its In-Demand Skills Stream

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has added 35 new occupations to the list of eligible occupations for the In-Demand Skills stream for permanent residency. Previously, only 22 occupations were eligible for this stream. With these new additions, the list now includes 56 eligible occupations.

This permanent residency stream under Ontario’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is one of the best options for individuals working in TEER 4 or 5 occupations. These occupations are ineligible for the federal Express Entry system for permanent residency.

Key Points: Ontario PNP Occupation In Demand

OINP regularly offers job opportunities in traditional and popular domains such as nursing, business management, ICT, administrative services, finance.
The Express Entry program conducts draws at regular intervals throughout the year, making it the fastest mode of immigration.

Ontario’s diverse industries, encompassing finance, technology, manufacturing, etc., offer opportunities for individuals with various job profiles to apply, secure job opportunities, and build flourishing careers.

These NOC codes represent the occupations recently added to Ontario’s In-Demand Skills stream.
