The Ontario Ministry of Immigration has announced a substantial adjustment to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), effective May 30, 2025, which will reduce federal admissions allocation by 50% from the previous year’s 21,500 quota. The Ministry reaffirms its ongoing commitment to conducting thorough application reviews under these revised parameters, with a strategic focus on identifying qualified economic immigrants to meet crucial workforce needs. Given these new federal parameters, candidates are advised to expect longer processing durations as Ontario implements adjustments to its selection methodology.
