Archived - Ontario Workforce Priority Stream: employer checklist | OINP Document Checklists | ontario.ca
The employer checklist page is now archived. Content shifted from the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker, International Student, and In-Demand Skills streams (effective July 2, 2025) to the Ontario Workforce Priority stream, which the AFTER text states was closed as of May 30, 2026. EOI handling now includes an employer-triggered email prompt and up-to-12-month selection-pool retention. Consent forms are portal-only after ITA and must be signed by a signing officer (not employer contacts). Transport positions no longer accept a “Satisfactory Unaudited” safety rating—only Excellent or Satisfactory. The International Student Stream recruitment-effort exception was dropped.

When a change lands, the engine re-checks the files it affects
Navisa is an AI file-prep engine for Canadian immigration firms. It reads the documents on a file, cross-checks them, runs the eligibility analysis against retrieved official sources, and flags what an officer would — citations attached. It does not replace the judgment of a licensed immigration professional; a consultant reviews and approves the work.
Navisa Prep is document-preparation software for individuals — cited comparisons and options, never advice. The Navisa platform is the case engine for licensed firms.
