Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
The OINP is Ontario’s economic immigration program. Provincial nomination is a step toward applying for permanent residence; the Government of Canada makes the final decision.
Current program update
As of our October 8, 2026 review, Ontario’s official program page states that the Ontario Workforce Priority stream has launched and all other streams are closed. Do not rely on previous stream lists or archived eligibility summaries when planning a new application.
Review the current Ontario Workforce Priority requirements, application process and employer instructions. Check official guidance for the treatment of any existing application. A job offer or minimum eligibility does not guarantee nomination or permanent residence.
English, Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil support
Our Windsor office offers consultations in English, Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil. മലയാളത്തിൽ സേവനം ലഭ്യമാണ്. We can review your circumstances, explain the applicable requirements and discuss representation. Government authorities decide all immigration outcomes.
