Ontario immigration has maxed out the number of people the federal government allows it to nominate for immigration to the central Canadian province.<\/p>\n

By then the province had issued 9,000 nominations to successful applicants across all streams under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program<\/span><\/a> (OINP) for 2021. The federal government makes the final decision to approve applications.<\/p>\n

In mid-May, the Canadian government announced it would allow Ontario to nominate 8,350 people under the OINP and another 250 nominations specifically for Temporary Foreign Workers<\/span><\/a> in intermediate-skilled occupations listed as Skill Level C under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system.<\/p>\n

When the province hit that target early, the federal government then allowed it to nominate another 400 candidates.<\/p>\n

New Applications Fall Under 2022 Allocation<\/h3>\n

New applications, and applications already submitted to the OINP, continue to be accepted and considered under the program\u2019s 2022 nomination allocation.<\/p>\n

Applicants can check the status of their applications at any time through the OINP e-Filing portal.<\/p>\n

This year, Ontario kicked off 2022 with three Expression of Interest<\/span><\/a> draws offering up a total of 1,084 invitations through its Employer Job Offer streams for Foreign Workers, International Students and In-Demand Skills.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, provincial Immigration Minister Monte McNaughton said Ontario intends to double the number of skilled immigrants coming to the province to resolve its acute labour shortages.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Jan. 11, our government invited 1,084 newcomers to call Ontario home,\u201d tweeted the immigration minister.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, we invited 9,000 skilled immigrants for permanent residency, reaching our yearly limit. In 2022, we want to double this to tackle our province’s labour shortage.\u201d<\/p>\n
