Employer - Central results

Minimum EOI Points: 30
Invitations: 582
Stream: Employer - Central
Date: Mar 18, 2026

All 8 legacy OINP streams (HCP, Employer Job Offer, Healthcare, French-Speaking, etc.) closed June 26, 2026 and were replaced by the single new Ontario Workforce Priority stream - a unified points-based Expression of Interest (EOI) system, not federal CRS-based. Job-offer applicants (any NOC TEER 0-5) are scored out of 130 points; self-employed physicians (no job offer required) are scored out of 115 (not scored on hourly wage). The stream just launched - Ontario has not published any invitation rounds or cutoff scores yet.
