Hi all,

It's been a while I'm looking for a postgraduate program to study, Finally I've chose one year program in sheridan.

Ive understood that one of the ways to extent PGWP is the OINP for international students. but in it's website says ''In order to apply as a nominee, the applicant must have a job offer that has been approved by OINP. To do this:Ontario employers must first submit a Pre-Screen Application to have the position they wish to fill approved by OINP.''

Whats is the approval of OINP and PRe-Sreen application? Is it the same as LMIA?

Thank you all.

Yes - it's similar to an LMIA.

If your goal is PR, I would strongly recommend you go with a 2 year rather than 1 year program.

Thank you very much!

Do you know how long it takes to got an approval? And what if I wait for months after expire of PGWP?
