Ontario’s OINP Corrects System Error with 72 ITAs
On June 6, 2025, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued 72 targeted Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to correct a system error, targeting candidates with job offers in Greater Sudbury/Grand Sudbury, residing in Canada with a Bachelor’s degree or higher.
The breakdown includes 32 ITAs under the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream (score: 36+), 34 under the International Student stream (score: 54+), and 6 under the In-Demand Skills stream (score: 32+).
Profiles were created between June 3, 2024, and June 3, 2025, bringing Ontario’s 2025 ITAs to 3,795. For OINP support, visit Go Canada Services’ Immigration Programs.
Bill C-2: Strong Borders Act and Asylum Reforms
Introduced on June 3, 2025, the Strong Borders Act (Bill C-2) tightens Canada’s asylum system, as defended by Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab.
It imposes a one-year filing deadline for asylum claims and a 14-day deadline for irregular border crossers, alongside powers for mass cancellation of immigration documents.
Despite concerns from advocacy groups about impacts on legitimate refugees, the bill aims to enhance efficiency and border security. For refugee program guidance, explore Go Canada Services’ Refugee Programs.
Start-Up Visa Program Attracts American Entrepreneurs
Following Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election, Canada’s Start-Up Visa (SUV) program has seen increased interest from American entrepreneurs in 2025.
The program offers permanent residency to innovative business founders backed by designated Canadian investors or incubators, requiring language proficiency (CLB 5) and settlement funds. Benefits include family inclusion and access to Canada’s start-up ecosystem.
