Hi everyone,
Just checking if there is any update on nomination. I think majority of us are still waiting for approval. Right now OINP is giving approval for health care.

They are going to approve only express entry stream not non express entry

I received my ITA in July, but I haven't received my nomination yet. However, almost everybody from July has already received it. Some people are still waiting. Maybe they are prioritizing Health professionals now, and after that, they will return to the rest of the applications.

Any updates guys?

I heard they are sending back applications with full refund. They are only approving applications for in demand NOCs.

OINP Updates:

July 2, 2025​

Recent changes to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)​

The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) has made regulatory changes that will allow the OINP to better respond to Ontario’s labour market needs. These changes are now in effect as of July 1, 2025.

Program materials and website pages have been updated to reflect these changes.

Launch of the new Employer Portal​

The OINP has launched a new electronic Employer Portal, shifting the Employer Job Offer streams to an employer-led application process.

• Please refer to the June 12 program update and the Employer Portal user guide for more details.
• Now that the Employer Portal is live, employers can register their business information in the Employer Portal and provide employment position information to enable a prospective applicant to register their Expression of Interest (EOI).
• Individuals who had an EOI automatically withdrawn from the system are encouraged now to work with their employer to submit a new EOI.

In-person interview requirements​

The OINP may now require in-person interviews for employers and foreign national applicants.

• This change enables the OINP to address concerns related to the credibility and authenticity of certain applications.
• Accommodations will be provided when merited.

Authority to return applications​

The OINP now has the authority to return applications before a nomination is issued.

• OINP applicants and/or their representatives will be notified by the program if their application is returned. The full application fee will be refunded.
• This change enables the program to return applications in consideration of a variety of factors, including the nomination allocation, alignment with Ontario’s most pressing labour market needs, and program integrity risk factors.
• This new authority will allow the program to focus on high quality applications that meet current labour market priorities.
