The International Student with a Job Offer stream of the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is designed for international students who have completed their studies in Ontario and have received a job offer from an Ontario employer.

To be eligible for this stream, international students must have completed a degree, diploma, or certificate program of at least two years at an eligible institution in Ontario. They must also have a job offer from an Ontario employer in a skilled occupation that is classified as NOC skill level 0, 1, 2 or 3.
