What’s new for 2018?Recent News in Migration The Ontario Immigration Act, 2015 came into effect January 1, 2018 • For the Ontario Immigrants Nominee Program (OINP), the job offer streams are now a one stage application process and no longer require a pre-screen of the employer or position. • The employer must submit a completed and signed employer form and through this, the employer attests that the OINP criteria has been met. • The Act also creates a number of penalties for violations of the OINP. For example, penalties include both administrative and monetary up to $150,000 for each contravention of the OINP and bans from using the OINP. • Ideally, with these changes, the process should be easier.
Recent News in Migration

• This allows for Ontario to search the federal express entry pool and select
candidates in the federal skilled worker class and Canadian experience class for
applicants who qualify for the human capital priorities stream.
• Anyone who receives an NOI interest now has 45 days to submit their application.Opportunity:
