Only good thing with OINP is that they will not reject your application without asking for missing documents or justification on something. And all your PR documents will be ready with OINP and pending list includes medicals and PCC only along with update on some old documents. That's it but Post-AOR waiting period is too much now. I guess in your case, direct ITA under FSW category will give you better options as you can stay anywhere in Canada. Best Wishes for your application. :)
Could you please share your post-ITA timeline so far?

Reaching out for help:

Question:

While applying for ONIP, is there a way in which we can upload multiple files under one category. Example, They have asked to submit all pages of the passport. So, do we need to make it into one file? I tried compressing using Zip but it doesn't seem to take zip files.

Your help would be much appreciated!

Thank you

You will have to merge individual PDF pages into one PDF document. ZIP files are not allowed.

Hi Karnesh,

Your post is really helpful. I have a doubt here. Do we need to get the WES and our degree certificates attested by Notary? I didn't see it on ONIP website. Could you please clarify?

Thank you!

To everyone waiting on a NOI from OINP......please share if you have received one so those of us who have been in the pool for a few months can be better guided as to whether or not need to recreate profile.

Thanks! I know you're done with your application but please remember to authorize your ECA to share the results with the OINP :)
Thanks, yes, that's a very important step that can be done only after registering! I did that yesterday right after registering and getting my file number.

Hi. No for WES. Degree certificate only if it’s in another language. (There’s no harm in sending attested degree certificate scanned copy) Best wishes for your application. :)

I'll remember for when the time comes. :) I think I'll recreate the EE profile this weekend.
When that time comes, feel free to holler if you have any questions. Hopefully I will have gotten nominated by then!

FYI, if any of you are seeing the message "Please note that the OINP has reached its registration intake limit for this stream. No new registrations will be accepted for this stream at this time. For more information please visit the OINP website." when registering for OINP, don't worry, just try again later. It's still open until the updates page says it's closed. Apparently Ontario displays this message every so often when the application volume gets high. I received this email in response to the email I sent yesterday right after they opened and I kept getting that "OINP has reached its registration intake limit" message for the first 15 or so minutes:


There is no official announcement that the Human Capital Priorities stream has closed.

We are monitoring closely the volume of applications and therefore we may put a hold on intake intermittently. In this case, please simply log out and try again at a later time in the day.

We hope this information will assist you. Once again, thank you for your email and for your interest in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.

Hi there, is there something I have to do in addition to submitting an express entry profile to (apply/be eligible) for OINP? Sorry if this is a dumb question/

Make sure in your EE profile that you select that you are interested in Ontario (or all provinces). When they are issuing NOIs, it helps to re-create your profile because they favor newer profiles.

You can download Nitro Pro 8 software in your system. That really helps in combining and extracting multiple PDF files.
