OINP Internation Student Stream - Deadline

[meetp23586]

Hey everyone, I need help from you!!

I currently work for the Municipal Government in IT. I graduated on August 20, 2022. Since I'm already employed by the municipal government, I discussed the OINP under International Student Stream with my manager, and he agreed to support my application through this stream.

However, there's a rule with OINP stating that within two years of graduating, I need to apply and receive an invitation. Right now, the government isn't holding any draws for the International Student stream. My deadline is August 20, 2024, and if a draw doesn't happen before then, I won't qualify for OINP anymore.

Is there any way to maintain my eligibility beyond this deadline? Also, any idea when the next draw might happen under this category? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Did you get any useful info?

Oh sh*t, I just realized that I'm at the same situation. I got job offer right after school and my employer told me they would help, but I didn't register, I thought I would have plenty of time, I just knew this has a two year limitation.

How stupid I was T.T, what can i do to make it up. Can people please help?

You have to apply within two years of graduating. If you fail to do that, this program is not an option for you.

If the draw doesn't happen in time then you will have to apply for PR through a different economic immigration program.

I'm considering looking for help from a immigration lawyer to see if they have any suggestions, would you also go to a lawyer? I mean we can share information and the cost, I guess?
