Ontario has announced that it will launch new immigration streams for Tech workers and for smaller communities in the province. This will be through the OINP - Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program. These initiatives are a part of the several programs included in its latest provincial budget.
The initiatives
announced by Ontario in its 2019 Budget include:
• A Pilot
program aimed at bringing skilled immigrant workers to smaller communities
in the province
• Expansion of the existing Entrepreneur Stream in OINP
• Addition of 2 new occupations to In-Demand
Skills Stream: Employer Job Offer -
Personal Support Workers and Truck Drivers
The statement in
the Budget said that along with other initiatives, the OINP will be modernized. Through this, it will be ensured by the
Government that the workforce in Ontario remains amongst the highly skilled for
the current economy.
The Budget
statement further calls upon the Canadian Federal Government to work in
collaboration with the province. This is to ensure that NOC codes and nomination allocation for OINP are fair. The province
must also be permitted to cater to its unique economic needs and evolving
labour market, it adds.
New Stream for Technology Sector
The Government
of Ontario has said that a dedicated stream will be created for assisting the
technology sector in the province to attract highly skilled immigrants. The new
stream for the Technology Sector is in response to the expanding IT industry in the province. It is centred on Toronto
considered as North America’s fastest growing tech market, as quoted by the CIC
News.
The Tech Stream
for skilled workers follows the successful Global
Talent Stream by the Federal Government for tech workers.
New Immigration Pilot for Smaller Communities
Ontario has said
that the Government will launch a pilot initiative with select communities to spread the benefits of immigration to
smaller communities. This is for exploring innovative approaches for bringing
highly skilled migrants to them.
