Ontario’s Masters Graduate Stream will reopen on Tuesday, March 5, at 10 a.m. to 1,000 registrations, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program announced today.
The Masters Graduate Stream is open to international graduates with a master’s degree obtained at an eligible university in Ontario and allows them to apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence.
Registrations can only be submitted through the OINP’s e-Filing Portal directly from its Masters Graduate Stream web page by clicking on the “Submit an application” button.
The registration period usually ends quickly for this popular stream, which does not require a job offer in order to be eligible.
The stream met its quota and closed within an hour when it last opened in April 2018.
Registration is the first step for international graduates who would like to be considered for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence through the Masters Graduate Stream.
Those who register successfully will then have 14 calendar days to submit a complete application for a provincial nomination.
In order to be eligible, graduates must be living in Ontario with legal status or living outside Canada, among other criteria.
Graduates living in a province or territory in Canada other than Ontario are not eligible to apply.
The Masters Graduate Stream is one of two immigration programs offered under the OINP’s International Student Category. The other stream is open to PhD graduates who have completed a degree from an eligible Ontario academic institution.
