Is the Employer Job Offer: Intl Student program a sponsorship?

[shannonxtreme]

My company refuses to apply if the program is a sponsorship of any sort. Does filling the Employer Form count as a sponsorship? If no, where would I find this on an official website?

If for OINP, then yes. For EE, no.

I confirmed with Ontario's Ministry representative - the OINP in this stream is not an obligation of any sort between the employer and applicant. Also, this OINP stream is processed entirely outside express entry.
