“The OINP is monitoring the intake of applications with respect to the limits of Ontario’s federal nomination allocation. Applicants will be informed when the OINP is no longer accepting applications.”

Applications for the popular OINP Canada Express Entry category, which does not require a job offer, have been on hold since July 2017. Ontario officials took the decision to pause applications following a surge in interest.
