INTRODUCTION: NOMINEES
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) offers international students
with a job offer the opportunity to permanently live and work in Ontario.
Prospective nominees (the applicant) can only apply if they have received an
approved permanent full-time job offer from an Ontario employer, or from a
business making an approved and endorsed investment in Ontario.
The application fee for international students with a job offer is $1500.
This fee can be paid by either the applicant or the employer, but must be included
in the nominee application package.
OINP no longer accepts incomplete nominee applications, and will return them to
applicants. In cases where OINP returns incomplete applications to applicants, OINP
will also return the enclosed application fees.
Applicants submitting applications in person must note that reception staff are not
authorized to provide application advice or review the completeness of applications.
1. ELIGIBILITY

meets the following criteria:

OINP will not accept applications from International Students in their final semester

application.
The job offer must be for a position approved by OINP through the Employer Pre-Screen Application.
