The province of Ontario has released the next update on the issuance of nomination certificates under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).
The Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development nominated 496 foreign nationals, 283 fewer than in the previous update. In total, Ontario issued 1,275 nominations in 2022.
Also, the province nominated 8,600 candidates to apply for permanent residence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) last year, 2021. So far, the Federal government has not announced the annual quota allocation under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
It is important to know that, the OINP e-Filing system will undergo scheduled system maintenance and testing on Saturday, February 12. However, no registrations or applications will be accepted during the maintenance. Therefore, clients should not access the system during this time and submissions will be withdrawn by the OINP.
