If the primary applicant loses their job before receiving an Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR):
• Impact on Nomination:
The OINP nomination is closely tied to the job offer that formed the basis of your application. If the applicant loses their job before the AOR and this information is disclosed to OINP or IRCC:
• The nomination could become invalid because the conditions under which it was granted no longer exist.
• This might lead to the rejection of the PR application, as it relies on a valid nomination.
Notify OINP immediately about the job loss. They might allow you time to secure a new, eligible job offer in Ontario to maintain the validity of your nomination.
• If no new job offer is provided, the nomination is likely to be withdrawn.
2. If the primary applicant loses their job after receiving the AOR:
Once the AOR is issued, your application has been officially accepted for processing. Losing the job may not automatically result in the cancellation of your PR application. However, there are critical factors
• IRCC might assess whether you still meet the program requirements during the processing of your application.
• If the job offer was an essential part of the nomination and PR application, IRCC may request updates about your employment status.
• If employment is not essential: In some cases, IRCC might proceed with the application as long as you meet all other criteria.
• If employment is essential: IRCC could place the application on hold and consult OINP. If OINP confirms the nomination is still valid despite the job loss, IRCC may continue processing. Otherwise, the application might be refused.
Maintain Communication: Inform OINP and IRCC promptly about the job loss. Transparency is essential to avoid negative consequences.
Secure a New Job Offer (if possible): If the job loss happens before or after the AOR, securing a new eligible job offer can strengthen your case and help maintain your nomination.
