This week, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) held two draws through which it issued 1,334 invitations to Apply (ITA) to candidates in agriculture-related and other priority occupations.

Invitations were issued solely through the province’s Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills stream.

Draw details

On April 15, Ontario invited candidates holding job offers in either agriculture-related occupations, or occupations deemed to be in high demand across the province.

The majority of invitations issued were to candidates in non-agriculture-related occupations: approximately 77%.

These invitations were split between two draws, based on occupation categorization. The cutoff scores, invitation volumes, and eligible occupations differed for each:

Occupation type	Invitations issued	Minimum score
Agriculture-related occupations	*315	35
Other priority occupations	*1,024	36

In addition to having a qualifying job offer, candidates needed to reside in Canada at the time of selection—with either a valid work or study permit.

*According to the OINP’s official invitation webpage, these are the total number of invitations issued through each draw, which add up to 1,339 invitations. This demonstrates a slight discrepancy (five invitations) from the stated total issued (1,334) on their Program updates webpage.
