Ontario issues 759 OINP invitations to international students in Other Priority Occupations, cutoff score 63

Summary: Ontario’s immigration program issued 759 invitations to apply to international students under the Other Priority Occupations category, with a cutoff score of 63, on 2025-09-03. Ontario, through the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), issued 759 invitations to international student candidates under the Other Priority Occupations category on 2025-09-03. The round used the PNP scoring model with a cutoff score of 63, and invitations were issued province-wide (Region: ALL). Key details:
- System/Program: OINP – International Students
- Category: Other Priority Occupations
- Program Affected: OINP-JOIS
- Scoring Model: PNP
- Cutoff Score: 63
- Total Invitations: 759
- Date of Update: 2025-09-03
- Source: PNP

Analysis:
- Positive signals: A cutoff of 63 suggests broader accessibility for international student candidates, potentially addressing labor needs in designated “priority” roles.
- Considerations: Targeting Other Priority Occupations concentrates nominations, which may leave candidates outside these roles waiting for future rounds. The sizable 759 invitations could temporarily increase competition at the nomination stage and subsequent federal processing.

Closing: This update indicates continued momentum in Ontario’s international student pathway, with a relatively moderate cutoff and province-wide reach. Candidates should monitor official OINP communications for occupation-specific guidance and future rounds.
