Ontario posts new immigrant nomination rules

The Ontario government posted a long list of proposed changes to its immigrant nominee program on its Ontario Regulatory Registry on Dec. 30, but the deadline for public comments is Jan. 1.

The program is meant to help employers fill vacancies for skilled worker jobs such as in health care, construction and manufacturing.


It’s doubtful that many farmers have used the program.


One of the changes grants priority to skilled workers already in the country so they can gain permanent residency status which is a step towards Canadian citizenship.
