As of May 30, 2026, all nine Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) nomination streams have been repealed from Ontarioโs provincial regulations. This marks the most significant restructuring of the OINP since its inception.
At this time, the Ontario government has not announced what new nomination streams or pathways will replace the existing categories, nor has it provided details regarding candidates currently registered in the Expression of Interest (EOI) system.
In addition, new regulations enabling targeted draws across all future EOI streams, along with the criteria governing those targeted draws, came into effect on May 30, 2026.
The OINP has confirmed that any applications submitted before these changes took effect will continue to be assessed under the eligibility requirements that were in place at the time of submission.
