大势所趋：安省热门的项目将引入EOI制度

安省今日发布通告，比较热门的雇主担保和硕士将会变成邀请制度（目前是抢名额制度）。这一天迟早会到来，任何一个项目如果太过火热，抢名额一段时间后都会变成EOI打分邀请制度。

目前安省给了45天的评论期，并不清楚在此之前硕士项目是否会开放。

受到这个项目影响的客户可以发邮件请求省政府至少在实行EOI政策之前再开放一次，或者不应该让EOI政策影响到正在读书或影响毕业的人，因为这些学生来安省就读硕士对旧政策是有期待的，而新项目一旦实行，部分申请人可能永远无法被邀请。

Proposed Expression of Interest Amendments

The Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD) is seeking public input on proposed amendments to Ontario Regulation 422/17 (General) and Ontario Regulation 421/17 (Approvals under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program and Other Matters) made under the Ontario Immigration Act, 2015 (Act). The amendments would introduce an Expression of Interest (EOI) system for the following Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) streams:
• Employer Job Offer Category (Foreign Worker; International Student, and In-Demand Skills streams);
• Masters Graduate; and
• Ph.D. Graduate.

Under an EOI system, individuals would register with the OINP and be placed in a selection pool. Individuals would then be required to provide personal information and other labour market and/or human capital information that would form the basis of any Invitation to Apply (ITA).

An individual’s EOI would be scored based on the information provided in their EOI. The OINP would review the scoring and issue ITAs to select EOI registrants. Registrants who received an ITA would be eligible to apply for nomination under the OINP.

In order to implement this proposal, amendments would be made that would authorize the director appointed under the Act to:
• Conduct either a general draw, or a targeted draw of select EOI registrants;
• Score prospective applicants based on information in the EOI;
• Determine and publish EOI point allocation to the OINP’s website;
• Allocate points to various factors (e.g. level of education, language, etc.)
• Issue top scoring potential applicants in each category an ITA.

For housekeeping purposes, the targeted draw authority would be extended to Express Entry streams that currently utilize an ITA-like system.

An EOI system would allow Ontario to:
• Increase the OINP’s labor market responsiveness and better respond to regional labour market needs;
• Strategically manage high demand for the OINP thereby creating more predictability for applicants and employers; and
• Manage OINP intake in a way that prioritizes the most suitable applicants.

Proposed Technical Amendments

MLTSD is seeking public input on proposed technical amendments to Ontario Regulation 422/17 (General):
• To better align with the Canada-Ontario Immigration Agreement, to amend the regulation to expressly require that employment positions under the Employer Job Offer Category streams are urgently needed.
• To amend subsection 5(2) to align with the language in subsection 5(1) such that the reference to information in subsection 5(2) is accurate and correct and not misleading or does not reasonably lead to an error in the administration of the Act.
