Ontario Issues 918 Invitations in Latest General Draw — April 22, 2026
Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (OINP) has conducted a new General Draw on April 22, 2026, issuing a total of 918 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) across two graduate streams.
Draw Highlights
Ontario latest draw targeted highly educated candidates, focusing exclusively on Masters and PhD graduates. Here is a breakdown of the results:
| Draw Category | Invitations Issued | Minimum CRS Score |
|---|---|---|
| Masters Graduate Stream | 674 | 61 & above |
| PhD Graduate Stream | 244 | 56 & above |
Implications for Candidates
This latest draw reflects Ontario’s dedication to attracting international graduates with high qualifications to boost its workforce and economic capacity. With invitations to nearly 1,000 candidates in this particular round, there will still be a lot of possibilities for candidates possessing post-graduate degrees.
If your CRS points are at or above the cutoff point in both streams, this may lead you to permanent residency in Canada via one of the country most popular provinces.
Who Is Eligible?
To be considered under these streams, candidates generally need to:
- Hold a Masters or PhD degree from an eligible Ontario institution
- Meet the minimum score requirements as outlined above
- Have a valid Express Entry profile linked to the OINP
