Ontario Immigration Reforms 2025: OINP Updates and More
OINP Updates Introduction

From Ontario’s latest immigration reforms to Quebec’s innovative language programs, these changes shape opportunities for newcomers. Go Canada Services, a trusted firm since 2004, provides tailored solutions for Ontario immigration, academic, and integration needs. This article explores key updates and how Go Canada Services can guide your journey.
Ontario’s Worker Protection Act Reforms OINP
On May 28, 2025, Ontario introduced the Working for Workers Seven Act, reforming the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). The legislation combats immigration fraud, enhances transparency, and protects vulnerable applicants. Key changes include mandatory in-person interviews, authority to adjust OINP streams based on labour market needs, and the ability to return non-compliant applications. A new online portal for employers launches in summer 2025, streamlining submissions. For OINP support, explore Go Canada Services’ Immigration Programs.
Manitoba’s Skilled Worker Overseas Draw
On May 29, 2025, Manitoba held its latest Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) draw (#246), issuing 30 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream. The minimum score was 606 points, down 20 points from the previous draw. Of the 810 candidates invited in 2025, 172 had valid Express Entry profiles.

Quebec’s Free Online French Learning Platform
On May 29, 2025, Quebec’s Ministry of Immigration, Francization and Integration (MIFI) launched a free online French learning platform at francais-enligne.quebec for beginners. Offering 25 hours of self-paced content for levels 1 and 2, the platform includes interactive videos, animations, and exercises focusing on pronunciation and comprehension. This supports integration for newcomers in Quebec. For integration help, check Go Canada Services’ Integration Services.
Scrutiny Over Canadian Colleges’ Standards
Both public and private Canadian colleges face scrutiny for their treatment of international students. Public institutions like Conestoga College, with 80% international students and a $252 million surplus in 2023, are criticized for overcrowded housing and strained resources. This has prompted new 2025 study permit caps. For guidance on studying in Canada, visit Go Canada Services’ Academic Services.

IRCC’s latest data shows 2,041,800 applications in inventory, up 65,100 from the previous update. Only 62.7% of applications meet service standards, with 35% of temporary residence and 44% of permanent residency applications in backlog.
