The employer's role
What does our OINP employer service cover?
We assess the employer and offered position, prepare the employer-side information and organize the supporting record required for a credible OINP submission.
Ontario's process starts with the employer's registration and job offer in the Employer Portal. If the worker is invited, the employer submits a separate application for approval of the employment position. The candidate's nomination application is distinct, but the facts across both records must align.
We agree the scope with the employer before work begins. The business supplies its genuine records and authorizes the final declarations; Ontario decides whether to invite and approve.
What we prepare
A documented employer-side file.
Each engagement is tailored to the business, role and stage of the OINP process.
Position and job offer
Assess the actual duties, NOC, wage, work location, permanent full-time terms and business need; reconcile the offer with employment records.
Recruitment record
Determine whether recruitment is required for this position and organize the advertising and applicant-assessment evidence where applicable.
Supporting documents
Build the employer checklist, identify missing records and assemble the documents Ontario uses to verify the business and employment position.
Employer Portal preparation
Prepare the employer information, job-offer details and, following an invitation, the position-approval application for review and authorized submission.
Coordinated response
Check consistency with the worker-side facts and help the employer respond to Ontario's questions or document requests within the agreed representation scope.
How we work
Review first. File from the evidence.
- 01
Assess the employer and role
Confirm program fit, business eligibility, job terms and the required employer documents before the portal record is created.
- 02
Prepare the job-offer record
Reconcile the NOC, wage, duties, work location and employer information with the documents the business can actually prove.
- 03
Prepare the invited-stage application
If Ontario invites the candidate, assemble the employer's position-approval application and supporting documents for the signing officer's review.
- 04
Respond and coordinate
Track employer-side requests and keep the position facts consistent with the candidate's separate nomination application.

An LMIA has a different decision-maker, purpose and evidence requirements. We support Canadian employers with that application too.

Before you commit to an OINP file.
Can an RCIC prepare an OINP employer application?
Yes. An authorized representative can assist with the employer-side assessment, forms, supporting documents and application under an agreed retainer. The employer must provide accurate business facts and the authorized signing officer remains responsible for the employer's declarations.
When should an employer seek help?
Before creating the job offer or relying on recruitment and wage assumptions. Reviewing the employer, position and candidate early gives the business time to assemble a consistent evidence record.
Is the OINP employer application the same as an LMIA?
No. Ontario assesses the employer and employment position for provincial nomination; Service Canada assesses an LMIA under the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program. The applicable requirements and worker processes are distinct.
Does a prepared employer application guarantee an OINP nomination?
No. Ontario decides the employer-side position approval and the separate candidate nomination application. An accurate, complete submission can address avoidable gaps, but it cannot guarantee an invitation or approval.
