Ontario announces changes to In-Demand Skills stream of the OINP

Syed Khan – February 04, 2022

Ontario Immigration has announced changes to its Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills stream. These changes were announced on the OINP website and now require that immigrants who come to Canada as Truckers (NOC code 7511) have the following:

  • a valid and legal Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration certificate
  • a Carrier Safety Rating of Excellent, Satisfactory, or Satisfactory

This new move has ramped up the security requirements for those moving to Canada as truckers while aiming to protect those who have already immigrated to Canada. The job prospects for Truckers are good and in demand across Canada and in Ontario this occupation is one of the top 10 in demand for this financial sector.

“The amendment aims to protect successful nominees and support public safety on Ontario highways as employers without an acceptable safety rating will be ineligible for approval”

Requirements for the Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills Stream:

  • Have a valid job offer from an Ontario employer. The job offer must be one of the OINP In-Demand Occupations and must be full-time.
  • Possess a minimum language proficiency score of Canadian Language Benchmark level 4 in either English or French or both.
  • Must have completed an educational credential equivalent to a Canadian high school diploma or higher.
  • Must meet the settlement funds requirement as set by the IRCC.
  • Have a cumulative amount of at least 1 year of full-time work experience obtained within the previous 3 years in Ontario and in the same NOC code as the job offer.
  • Must prove their intention to reside in the province.
