🇨🇦 Canada's provinces keep inviting immigration candidates. These are skilled workers already residing in the provinces or workers outside Canada with a job offer from a Canadian employer.

✈ The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) invited 81 candidates on May 11. Since this was a job offer-specific immigration draw, candidates needed an employment agreement in healthcare and skilled trades occupations. The cut-off score was 31. Among invited foreign workers are registered nurses, family doctors, pharmacists, electricians, carpenters, roofers, heavy-duty equipment mechanics, machine fitters, etc.
