The goal of this change is to recognize that qualified professionals who are already permitted to work in Ontario's education sector are prepared for the workforce.
OINP has affirmed that all the program materials and pages on the websites were updated to depict these changes, which are now in effect.
These modifications will ensure the integrity and efficiency of provincial immigration nominations while also assisting the OINP in simplifying its procedures to align with Ontario's labour market objectives.
