These draws targeted early childhood educators, priority health care professionals, and candidates who may qualify for the Regional Economic Development through Immigration (REDI) pilot—which works within the OINP’s job offer streams—through all of the above streams.
All five draws focused on individuals currently residing in Canada with a profile in the province’s Expression of Interest (EOI) system pool.
For the REDI pilot, which is intended to drive economic growth and support population stability in smaller regions, the targeted communities included these Census Divisions: Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville.

The OINP has issued a total of 11,612 invitations in 2025 to date. The table below shows how invitations have been distributed by stream.

Note: The OINP has recently proposed a complete overhaul to its selection process of provincial nominees, which will impact anyone seeking to obtain PR and settle in Ontario.
This would include consolidating its three Employer Job Offer Streams into one stream (phase one), and eliminating all other existing streams and introducing three streams in their place (phase two):
- A priority healthcare stream;
- An entrepreneur stream; and
- An exceptional talent stream.
Discussions are currently underway, and the potential implementation of this selection process has not yet been confirmed or deadlined.
