Ontario Invites 1339 Candidates Under In-Demand Skills Stream

Ontario released its latest draw under the Employer Job Offer In-Demand Skills stream on April 15, 2026, targeting candidates in agriculture-related occupations and other priority occupations.

The draw considered profiles created between July 2, 2025 and April 13, 2026, with score ranges starting at 35 for agriculture roles and 36 for other priority occupations. This stream is built for workers already employed in semi-skilled roles across sectors that Ontario depends on daily.

Unlike Express Entry-linked streams that require high CRS scores, the In-Demand Skills stream offers a genuine pathway to Canadian PR for candidates with a valid job offer from an Ontario employer. Here is a full breakdown of what this draw covered and whether your profile qualifies for the next one.

A minimum education level of Canadian high school or equivalent with an ECA is required. Language proficiency must be at least CLB 4 in English or French.
