On January 18, 2018, the Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP) announced the re-opening of many of its nominee programs. OINP has been granted an extra allocation of 600 nominations for 2018, so they are expected to invite more applicants this year. The programs that opened on January 18 are: Foreign Worker Stream; International Student Stream; In-Demand Skills Stream; Human Capital Priorities Stream; French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream; Skilled Trades Stream; Corporate Stream; and Entrepreneur Stream. On January 26, 2018, Ontario revealed that the CRS scores for those invited under the Human Capital Priorities stream were between 444 and 433. This week, OINP also announced that it is accepting applications to the Masters Graduate and PhD Graduate Streams. However, on the same day, OINP announced that the Masters Graduate Stream was closed. This has been an ongoing issue with the Masters Stream since last year: the program has only opened for one or two days at a time, meaning applicants to this stream must constantly check OINP’s website for updates. Anyone interested in applying for permanent residence through OINP should have their profiles active early in the year, as these programs fill up at the beginning of the year. If you are interested in learning more about any of these programs, please contact us to schedule a consultation. Back to all posts Share this post:
Annie Caplan Devika and John were excellent. They understood how this process would change my life and helped me get to the US. John was extremely kind and thorough. When my employer in the US ended up trying to take advantage of me, they helped me transfer my visa to a new employer and had so much empathy for my situation and now I have a job in California that makes me so happy while helping others. I am beyond grateful for their kindness and service. I will be using them for any changes to my status going forward.
Satish Maduri I had a very good experience with Borders Law Firm. Though my PR file was a bit complicated, Brendan, Andres and Devika worked extremely well in a thorough and perfect manner. I was so happy when my PR application was processed in a record-breaking 45 days, thanks to the meticulous handling of my case by the lawyers.
Khalil Ahmad I have had a great experience with Borders Law firm through out my son's citizenship and my wife's PR application. Devika, John Yoon, and Brendan are well knowledgeable and always gave the best advice. John Yoon, I can't thank you enough he made sure all the paper work is in order and dealing with 3 different department at the same time at he tail end of my wife's PR application, always there to answer my questions even after hours. John was just wonderful though out I have had a great experience with Borders Law Firm and I would strongly recommend this firm.
