Here's the announcement from Ontario's Ministry of The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development:
"The OINP has made changes to the Employer Job Offer: International Student stream to expand eligibility for international students who have completed a one-year college graduate certificate.
Previously, the OINP’s Employer Job Offer: International Student stream allowed candidates to apply with a one-year credential from an eligible institution only if the program required the completion of a degree as an admission requirement.
With this change, the OINP allows applicants of any one-year college program that grants an Ontario College Graduate Certificate to qualify.
This amendment increases the number of certificate programs eligible for the OINP.
This change came/comes into effect on January 1st, 2024. This does not impact individuals who submitted an application prior to this date."
