IMPORTANT NOTICE
RE: French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has launched a new online application process to make it easier to apply to the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream and to help improve processing times for applicants.
Our ministry is committed to improving its application and business systems with a focus on enhancing client service. Additional online application systems are being developed over the coming months.
Visit our French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream Frequently Asked Questions webpage for more information.
Please refer to the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream Application Guide for further details on this stream
Please monitor the OINP updates webpage for news, announcements and new developments in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
Ontario is dedicated to celebrating and furthering the 400 years of Francophone culture in our province, and we are working towards meeting the Ontario Immigration Strategy’s goal of five per cent Francophone immigration.
In November 2016, members of the Group of Experts on Francophone Immigration submitted a report to help guide our efforts and resources to increase Francophone immigration to Ontario.
We have already started to implement some of the recommendations, with an early focus on international promotion and attraction.
Note: If you received a Notification of Interest (NOI) from Ontario before January 23, 2017, you may submit a paper application to the OINP by mail. For instructions on how to submit a paper application and to access the application form and corresponding Application Guide, please click here . If you received a NOI after January 23, 2017, you must submit your application online.
A good thing is that they have switched to the online system, however, the down side is that there is still no news on when do they plan to send EOIs. Moreover, the notice states that additional online application systems are being developed over the coming months, which suggests that the programme may not open anytime soon as they want to open only when they have developed their online application systems.
