Nov 7, 2017 – The Ontario immigration office has closed registrations for the OINP Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream after the intake limit was reached.
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program stream opened on November 2, 2017 and closed on November 7, 2017.
Applicants needed to have received a Notification of Interest (NOI) from Ontario in order to apply, and have a profile registered with the federal Canada Express Entry system.
A provincial statement said: “Please note that Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream has reached the registration intake limit. No additional registrations for this stream can be accepted.
“The OINP is monitoring the intake of applications with respect to the limits of Ontario’s federal nomination allocation, and will determine if any more applications can be accepted for this stream.”
Is Your NOI Valid?
- NOIs issued before November 1, 2017 are valid for six months or until December 31, 2017 (whichever comes first). You must submit an application for the HCP Stream in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program e-Filing Portal within six months of receiving your NOI.
- NOIs issued after November 1, 2017 are valid for 45 days or until December 31, 2017 (whichever comes first). This means that if you received your NOI after November 1, 2017, you must submit an application for the HCP in the OINP e-Filing Portal within 45 days of receiving your NOI.
- All NOIs issued in 2017 are no longer valid after December 31, 2017.
