Ontario invites candidates in the September PNP draws, i.e, Ontario’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) has kicked off September with some of its largest draws this year, inviting thousands of candidates across three different streams.
On September 2, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued a total of 2,643 invitations to apply (ITAs) through the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker, International Student, and In-Demand Skills streams.
These draws primarily targeted applicants already living in Canada and working in essential occupations, particularly in the healthcare sector as well as in early childhood education roles. The focus highlights Ontario’s ongoing commitment to addressing labour shortages in vital areas.
To be considered, candidates needed to have created their Expression of Interest (EOI) profile between July 2, 2025, and September 2, 2025.
Breakdown Of Invitations
| Stream | Minimum Score | Number Of Invitations Issued |
| Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker | 41 | 1,305 |
| Employer Job Offer: International Student | 58 | 1,105 |
| Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills | 33 | 233 |
Candidates in the Foreign Worker and International Student streams were only eligible if they held valid job offers in one of the following priority National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes:
- NOC 31100 – Specialists in clinical and laboratory medicine
- NOC 31101 – Specialists in surgery

Successful candidates now have the opportunity to submit a complete application to OINP. Once nominated by the province, they can move forward to apply for permanent residence with the federal government.
New Employer Job Offer System
As Ontario invites candidates in the September PNP draws, let us discuss the new Employer Job Offer system.
Since July 2, 2025, OINP has fully transitioned to using the Employer Portal for all Employer Job Offer streams. Employers can now submit job offers directly through the portal and register EOIs on behalf of candidates.
This change ensures that only applicants with active employer-supported profiles are considered in future OINP draws. Those who had EOIs created prior to July 2 must work with their employers to re-submit through the portal to remain eligible.
