On December 10, 2025, we issued 1,057 targeted invitations to apply to potential candidates in the Expression of Interest system pool who may qualify for the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker or International Student stream who work in priority health occupations or in NOC 42202 – Early childhood educators and assistants, and who are currently residing in Canada.

Please note that as of July 2, 2025, all applications for the approval of an employment position under the Employer Job Offer streams must be submitted via the Employer Portal. Only candidates whose employers have submitted a job offer through the Employer Portal, and have successfully registered an expression of interest, will be considered.

If the OINP has selected your expression of interest, both you and your employer will be notified via email. Your employer may then submit an application for approval of an employment position directly though the Employer Portal, and you may submit your application and make the payment. Please refer to the June 12 program update and the Employer Portal user guide for more details.

Candidates only received an invitation under the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream if they had a score of 49 and above, and under the Employer Job Offer: International Student stream if they had a score of 73 and above, and a job offer in one of the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes:

  • NOC 31300 - Nursing co-ordinators and supervisors
  • NOC 31301 - Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses
  • NOC 31302 - Nurse practitioners
  • NOC 31303 - Physician assistants, midwives and allied health professionals
  • NOC 32101 - Licensed practical nurses
  • NOC 33102 - Nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates
  • NOC 42202 – Early childhood educators and assistants

Please note that candidates under the physician NOC codes 31100, 31101 and 31102 have not been issued invitations to apply at this time. The OINP will issue targeted invitations to these candidates in the coming months.

You may apply to one of the Employer Job Offer streams if you received an invitation to apply on December 10, 2025. Eligible profiles must be created and attested by December 9, 2025, 11:59 p.m.

To apply:

  1. Review the Employer Job Offer stream page corresponding to the stream for which you were invited to apply to determine if you meet the requirements.
  2. Review the document checklist to ensure you have the mandatory documents.
  3. Your employer must submit the application for the approval of an employment position by midnight on January 5, 2026.
  4. Log in to the OINP e-Filing Portal and click the newly created file number with the prefix JOXX. You must submit your application and payment by midnight on January 8, 2026.

Your new application file number is different than your EOI file number. The EOI file number (EOI-JOXX-XXXXXX) will be greyed out; this is not an error.

If you received an invitation to apply you don’t need to contact the program.
