Ontario has announced the closure of several immigration streams under its Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) as part of a comprehensive overhaul of its economic immigration system, effective May 30, 2026. The streams affected include categories for Foreign Workers, International Students, and Skilled Trades, leaving prospective applicants uncertain about future pathways. This overhaul follows proposals made in December 2025, which aimed to consolidate existing Employer Job Offer streams into a single program with distinct tracks for high-skilled occupations and sectors experiencing labor shortages. Although Ontario has not confirmed whether it will implement this phased approach or provided details on new eligibility criteria, it has assured that applications submitted before the closure will still be reviewed under the previous guidelines. Additionally, existing job offer-based Expressions of Interest (EOIs) remain active, and new registrations continue to be accepted. The changes reflect Ontario's ongoing efforts to adapt its immigration system to better meet labor market needs.
