Authority to return applications

The OINP now has the authority to return applications before a nomination is issued.

• OINP applicants and/or their representatives will be notified by the program if their application is returned. The full application fee will be refunded.
• This change enables the program to return applications in consideration of a variety of factors, including the nomination allocation, alignment with Ontario’s most pressing labour market needs, and program integrity risk factors.
• This new authority will allow the program to focus on high quality applications that meet current labour market priorities.
