Hello, my question is if I received an ITA to apply for OINP Foreign worker stream but my current salary doesn't not match Median Wage level, then will my application get refused or rejected for the Nomination?

Yes, you should expect the nomination to be refused.

On what basis you claim your comment?
It's a requirement to be eligible for the program. This is clearly stated as an eligibility criteria on the OINP web site.

It's a mandatory requirement for the program, so no. Being below the mediam wage disqualifies you. The only thing that may work is to convince your employer to increase your wage to the median wage and then submit additional evidence to show this (i.e. new employment letter with increased wage, pay slips showing increased wage).

What was the outcome of your application? I am in the same boat, applied without realising about the median wage and now my application is under assessment stage.

And

Does anybody knows, would I get refund if I widraw my OINP application when its in assessment status?

Mine got withdrawn because I submitted a wrong doc but please let me know what happens with your file I'm pretty sure it's under assessment you'll probably get the nomination

Hi, have you received any email from OINP? Today I received an email regarding my salary which is below the median wage, wanted to know your status?
