Changes to the Employer Job Offer – Foreign Worker stream for Self-Employed Physicians

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has made changes to the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream that will allow physicians to qualify for the stream without needing a job offer from an Ontario employer.
Applicants to the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream must have a job offer from an Ontario employer. This requirement meant that physicians who were independent contractors (i.e., self-employed, OHIP-billing) were ineligible to apply under this stream.
To help address Ontario’s labour market needs in healthcare, the program has made changes to the requirements for physicians applying to the OINP through this stream.
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) system groups all physician occupations under NOC codes 31100, 31101 and 31102. To qualify, physician applicants no longer need a job offer if they can demonstrate that they meet the following:
● The applicant must be registered and in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario in one of the following certificate categories that permits patient care:
● Independent practice
● Academic practice
● Postgraduate education
● The applicant must be eligible to receive payment for publicly funded health services in accordance with the Health Insurance Act,1990.
The amendments came into effect on January 27, 2025.
There are no changes to the requirements for applicants applying to the stream under any other NOC.
These changes are reflected on the program requirements webpage. For more information, please visit:
● OINP Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream | ontario.ca
The updated regulations can be found on Ontario’s e-Laws Website:
● Ontario Regulation 422/17 (General)

Changes to the Express Entry Human Capital Priorities and French-Speaking Skilled Worker streams for Self-Employed Physicians

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has amended regulations so that applicants to the Human Capital Priorities and French-Speaking Skilled Worker streams can use periods of self-employment to meet the streams’ work experience requirement if they have periods of self-employment in an occupation under one of the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes:
● NOC 31100 - Specialists in clinical and laboratory medicine
● NOC 31101 - Specialists in surgery
● NOC 31102 - General practitioners and family physicians
Applicants to these streams must decide which of two federal program criteria they would like to be assessed against:
● the Federal Skilled Workers Program; or
● the Canadian Experience Class
The amendments allow applicants who choose to be assessed against Canadian Experience Class criteria to use periods of self-employment if that experience is in a designated NOC.
The amendments do not apply to applicants under any other NOC. This amendment mirrors recent updates to federal policy.

Changes to banning procedures for immigration representatives

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has made changes to allow immediate bans. This means that the director of the Ontario Immigration Act, 2015 may ban an immigration representative who contravenes the Act without first having to issue them an administrative monetary penalty.
Previously, before issuing an order to ban, the director had to first issue an order imposing an administrative monetary penalty on the representative, except in certain cases.
This change was made to combat immigration scams and builds on other measures to deter individuals from misrepresenting and defrauding newcomers and the OINP.
