Ontario PNP has been recently changed to include PhD students under its umbrella. International PhD graduates who finished their studies with one of the Ontario’s publicly funded universities, may now apply for permanent residence in Canada via the Ontario PNP. The beauty of this sub-stream of the Ontario PNP is that an applicant does not have to have a job offer in order to qualify.

 

This seems to be a very clever way to retain these highly educated and bright individuals in the province.
