Who Can Apply
Only candidates who received an invitation on December 11, 2025, can apply. The application process includes two steps:
- The employer must submit an application for job approval through the Employer Portal by January 6, 2026;
- The candidate must submit their own application through the OINP e-Filing Portal by January 9, 2026.
As of July 2, 2025, job approvals are processed only through the Employer Portal. Only candidates whose employers submitted an offer through the system and whose EOI profiles are successfully registered will be considered.
