Ontario’s Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream has just received a major update. Previously, applicants needed a job offer from an Ontario employer to apply — but that posed a challenge for self-employed physicians who independently bill the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). 😕

As of January 27, 2025, the rules have changed! Self-employed physicians no longer need a traditional job offer to qualify for the stream, as long as they meet specific criteria. This change opens up more opportunities for those who’ve been practicing independently to take advantage of Ontario’s vibrant healthcare system and immigration pathways. 🙌

If you’re a self-employed physician looking to expand your practice or settle in Ontario, this update makes the process smoother and more accessible. Make sure you meet the necessary criteria and start planning your next steps toward a rewarding career in Ontario! 💼💉
