Ontario loosens eligibility criteria for the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program

Ontario has made a change to its Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

Employer Job Offer: International Student stream by expanding the eligibility requirement for students who have completed a one-year college graduate certificate effective from 1st January 2024.

Previously, the OINP’s Employer Job Offer: International Student stream allowed candidates to apply with a one-year credential from an eligible institution only if the program required the completion of a degree as an admission requirement.

With this change, the OINP allows applicants of any one-year college program that grants an Ontario College Graduate Certificate to qualify for the program, which increases the number of certificate programs eligible for the OINP.

Ottawa may ‘rein in’ temporary resident numbers as housing concerns intensify, Canada immigration minister says

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says in Ottawa that he'll be scrutinizing the number of international students and other non-permanent residents coming into Canada as political tension builds around the interplay between housing affordability and immigration.

In an interview airing Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, Miller said the relationship between housing and immigration is complex, and it was discussed around the cabinet table when it came to setting targets for the number of people coming in to Canada.

"Housing has and continues to be a concern, acutely so now in a post-COVID scenario, with the increase in interest rates, with supply challenges, but also just affordability challenges," Miller told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.

It isn't immigrants that raised interest rates, but volume is volume and it's something that we need to look at."

Canada is facing major challenges around housing affordability. The Conservative opposition has sought to place the blame on the Liberal government by linking government deficits with rising interest rates.
