Ontario PNP invites immigrants working in health, agriculture, and manufacturing

Ontario invited 48 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination on August 11.

The (OINP) held its second-ever In-demand skills stream draw under its new intake system. Ontario’s new  (EOI) system replaces the old first-come-first-served model, and means that interested candidates can register at any time for a chance to receive an invitation from Ontario. In other words, “express their interest” to apply for a provincial nomination under an Ontario (PNP).
