The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) announced significant regulatory changes, affecting Ontario Regulation 421/17 under the Ontario Immigration Act, 2015.

These amendments grant the Minister authority to redesign the OINP by creating or removing selection streams, a power approved through the Working for Workers Seven Act, 2025.

The updates streamline application processing, refine program streams to address provincial labour market demands, and strengthen program integrity through enhanced notice delivery methods and expanded administrative penalties.

These changes aim to ensure the OINP selects qualified applicants who can contribute to Ontario's economy while protecting Canadian workers and maintaining program standards.
