Masters and PhD Graduate Streams: Invitations Issued for General Occupations on September 17, 2024


On September 17, 2024, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued invitations to apply (ITAs) to candidates in the Expression of Interest (EOI) system pool under the Masters and PhD Graduate streams. The draw targeted individuals in general occupations, with specific score thresholds required for each stream.


Masters Graduate candidates who scored 53 or higher received invitations, while PhD Graduate candidates needed a minimum score of 45 to qualify. Successful candidates can now proceed with their applications if they received an ITA.


To apply, candidates are encouraged to:


  • Review the Masters Graduate or PhD Graduate stream pages to ensure they meet all requirements.
  • Consult the document checklists to gather the necessary paperwork.
  • Log in to the OINP e-Filing Portal and use their new application file number (NMAS for Masters or NPHD for PhD). 


The previous EOI file number will be greyed out, which is not an error.


Applicants should note that there is no need to contact the OINP if they received an invitation to apply.
