The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued about 1,334 invitations to Apply (ITA) for its two draws this week to eligible candidates in priority occupations, including those related to agriculture. They were issued through the In-Demand Skills stream, Ontario’s Employer Job Offer. The Invitations marked the OINP’s selections for the month of April (third round). The profiles of eligible candidates must be live and attested to on or before April 13, 2026, and before midnight, but no earlier than the 2nd of July 2025.
Draw Details
On April 15, the province invited eligible candidates with occupations in high demand, including agriculture-related. However, about 77% of the invitations were given to those in non-agriculture-related jobs.
The invitations were given in two draws and were based on type of occupation.
| Occupation Type | Invitations Issued | Minimum Score |
| Agriculture-related occupations | 315 | 35 |
| Other priority occupations | 1,024 | 36 |
Apart from having received a qualifying job offer, all of the candidates must also be residing in Canada during the selection, and they must have either a valid study or work permit.
*According to the OINP’s official invitation webpage, the total number of invitations adds up to 1,339, which covers both draws. This, however, showed a slight discrepancy of five invitations from the total issued invitations of 1,334 shown on the Program updates webpage.
Targeted Occupations in This Draw
A total of 39 occupations were considered under both the In-Demand Skills stream draws. For agriculture-related occupations, candidates from six specific National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes were considered. Candidates were also considered for other priority occupations not related to agriculture, of which one of 33 was actually selected.
