The OINP has made changes to the education requirement for early childhood educators applying to the following streams:

  • Human Capital Priorities (HCP) stream
  • French-Speaking Skilled Worker (FSSW) stream

These changes will make it easier for them to qualify for the OINP.

  • Individuals applying to the HCP or FSSW streams who have indicated NOC 42202 – Early childhood educators and assistants as their primary NOC will not have to meet the minimum education requirement if they are members of the College of Early Childhood Educators and are thus deemed to be job-ready.
