Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program will accept applications to the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream on October 21 — All applicants must have a current job offer and up-to-date employer form
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) will accept applications to the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream on October 21, 2020. The stream will open at some point during the OINP’s business hours, which are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (EST).
Due to the significant number of users expected to access the system, you may encounter a high-volume message page or be placed in a priority queue. If this occurs, it is not a technical error and you don’t need to contact the program.
Once the intake limit has been met, the system will automatically prevent further registrations from being submitted.
You must access the OINP e-Filing Portal directly from the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream page on the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program website. Please click on the button ‘Submit an application’. Mobile devices, such as cell phones and tablets, are not supported by the e-Filing system.
During registration, please pay careful attention when entering your date of birth. The correct format in the e-Filing Portal is DD/MM/YYYY. The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program does not accept complete changes to date of birth, therefore it is imperative the information is entered correctly.
Important: Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program is NOT accepting applications to the Employer Job Offer: International Student and Masters Graduate streams on October 21
Important: Current job offer and up-to-date Employer Form required.
Your job offer must be current when you apply. New applications will not be held pending a potential recall/return to work date. As part of your application you must provide all required supporting documents, including an up-to-date job offer with a definitive and imminent start date.
To ensure your application is processed in a timely manner, you must submit the most recent version of the Employer Form, which must be completed and dated no earlier than October 21, 2020. Although the Employer Form indicates that it must be submitted within six (6) months from the date of signing, it is very important that the information contained in the Employer Form is current. Including an Employer Form completed and dated prior to October 21, 2020 or failing to provide a current job offer will result in your application being returned as incomplete. Please note that if you successfully register, you will have 14 days to complete and submit the application. You will be able to use this time to upload an up-to-date Employer Form. Extensions to this 14-day period will not be provided.
Please also be aware the ‘Regulatory Compliance Information’ section B of the Employer Form has been revised to indicate whether the employer’s business is currently compliant (i.e. has no outstanding orders) under the Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000 and the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Carefully have your employer review the information listed in the Employer Form to respond accurately in order to avoid unnecessary delays in processing your application.
If you experience technical difficulties while using the OINP e-Filing portal, please contact the OINP directly at: ontarionominee@ontario.ca and include a screenshot showing the time and date stamp, and include details about how the error occurred.
