What is OINP?
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Programme (OINP) is a program that examines the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Express Entry pool to identify individuals who meet the parameters of one of Ontario’s Express Entry immigration streams,
If the OINP identifies you in the pool, you will get a notification of interest in your Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada online account. However, you should be aware that you are not automatically eligible for one of our streams just because you received a notification of interest.
If you are eligible for the Ontario Express Entry stream and receive a notification of interest, you should submit an online application to the OINP after receiving the notification. You can submit your application, within 45 days of getting a notification of interest.
