Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker
Former OINP stream for foreign workers who already held a full-time permanent job offer from an Ontario employer in a skilled occupation. It was one of the three Employer Job Offer streams selected through Ontario's expression of interest system, with targeted regional and sector draws through April 2026. It no longer accepts expressions of interest and has been folded into the Ontario Workforce Priority stream.
Closed
Closed in the 2026 OINP redesign: the stream was removed effective June 25, 2026 (announced June 26, 2026 on the official 2026 OINP updates page) and replaced by the Ontario Workforce Priority stream. No further invitations will be issued under it; applications already submitted after an invitation are assessed under the rules in effect at submission.
