This community-driven program is designed to spread the benefits of economic immigration to smaller communities by creating a path to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers.
Besides, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program is the province’s economic immigration program. It works in partnership with the Government of Canada through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Foreign workers, international students and others with the right skills, experience and education apply to the OINP for a nomination. As a Laurentian graduate student, you may qualify for such a nomination.
When I was fifteen, I left my home in Cameroon.
“At first, I didn’t want to leave, I wanted to stay close to my family, but my parents knew there would be more opportunities for me in the future if I left. They were right. I am so thankful that Laurentian University has given me the tools to achieve my goals and succeed at the next chapter of my life.”
