PSW agency employment

[VIjay Syam]

Hi,

I recently got a PSW job offer from a nursing agency in Ontario. They said that they are offering me a full-time position at a long-term care home, but it won't be permanent. Basically, I will work at this long-term care home for a period of time (maybe 2-3 months), and then once the care home no longer requires my services, the agency will transfer me to another care home and repeat the process.

My question is, will I be able to apply for the OINP International Student Stream with this type of employment?

Thank you,
Vijay

Thank you for the quick reply. If my agency meets those requirements, they can help me with OINP, right? I don't have to be a full-time and permanent employee of the care home that they send me to. I just need to be full-time and permanent with the agency.

Agencies typically don’t have permanent full-time employees except their office staff. You should be able to find a PSW job without an agency.
