Ontario province in Canada that welcomes more than 100000 overseas immigrants per year has now implemented changes to immigration rules. This is through the implementation of Immigration Act Ontario 2015 that has come in to effect from 1 January 2018. It lays the legislative outline for the latest Ontario migration nomination program.
The act offers the approval of Ontario legislature for the creation of:
- Registration of employers in Ontario and recruiters who are qualified to offer jobs and offer hiring services to overseas nationals
- Programs for Integration and Settlement
- Regulated programs for selection that includes criterions pertaining to provisional and permanent migration to the province
- Investigations, Inspections, administrative, offenses and other fines
The legislative changes are aimed at enhancing the accountability, consistency, and transparency of the OINP launched in 2007. It has since then become a favored choice for Overseas Nationals who seek to work or immigrate to Ontario. This act is one more initiative by the government of Ontario. It is aimed at enhancing the appeal of the province for overseas skilled workers. This also aims to attract Entrepreneurs and immigrant talents across the world, as quoted by the Immigration CA.
The act places Ontario as an equal partner with the Federal government for immigration. It also facilitates enhanced control over immigrant selection for the region that welcomes more than 100000 overseas immigrants per year.
The notification has been released after the Immigration agreement between Ontario and Canada. It recognizes the province as the apex destination for migrants.
