The link to the OINP e-Filing portal can be found on each stream webpage. You should access the OINP e-Filing portal directly from OINP website to apply under your preferred stream.
Remember that the allocation of Ontario’s federal nomination is limited. The OINP is monitoring the application intake and will inform you when it will no longer accept applications via the updates webpage.
As a result of the Proclamation of the Ontario Immigration Act, 2015, some criteria and processes have changed on January 1, 2018. So, before you apply, refer to the recently updated Application Guides and review it carefully to find out whether you meet all stream criteria.
