In light of the OINP's suspension today, I know a lot of people have questions about whether or not their applications are still safe. I decided to make a simple chart for you to be able to check whether or not your OINP application will be accepted and processed.
An application is a paper packet of forms and documents sent to Ontario after you receive their notification of interest. There are several steps to the Ontario process:
1. You create an Express Entry profile, and you mark Ontario and/or All Provinces on it in the question asking you where you would like to live.
2. Assuming your profile meets OINP's requirements (400 CRS, Bachelor's degree), you get a Notification of Interest<------As of February 16 2016, Ontario is no longer sending these out
3. You create an application packet consisting of the application form and supporting documents, and send it in to Ontario<------As of May 9 2016, any applications received by OINP will no longer be accepted
4. 50-110 days after your application has been received by OINP, they send you an Acknowledgement of Receipt. This marks the point your application officially begins to be processed
5. 45-90 days after it has begun processing, a decision is made on the application, and you receive your nomination
Simply making the Express Entry profile does not count as an application.
For anybody who is curious about whether or not their OINP application is safe and on track for being processed:
KEY
Red=Application Will Not Be Processed; Blue=Application Will Be Processed, Pending Some Specific Criteria Being Met; Green=Application Will Be Processed
* If you are on Step 1 in the process above, you are not going to be able to apply to OINP this year
* If you are on Step 2 in the process above, then your application is safe as long as you got your Notification of Interest on or before February 16 2016 and sent your application within the 45 day period provided, and it will be processed
* If you are on Step 3 in the process above, your application is safe as long as your application was delivered (delivered, not sent) on or before May 9 2016, and it will be processed
* If you are on Step 4 or 5, then your application is safe and it will be processed
