Guys, it appears that Ontario is intentionally pausing and reopening applications to all streams throughout the year in order to ensure that people have a chance to apply throughout the year, rather than allowing all the available nominations to be taken early in the year. I read this on pages 35-36 of this FAQ (page 36-37 in the PDF). I think/hope it's likely they will open it back up later this year, even if we have to wait a few more months. In the meantime, we need to hope and pray for a speedy reopening.

OINP Limit on Application Intake

1) Why is the OINP implementing limit on application intake?

The popularity of the OINP continues to grow. By May 2016, Ontario had received a sufficient number of program applications to fulfill its 2016 allocation. In January 2016 alone, the program received over 1,800 applications. To ensure processing efficiency and quality customer service, the OINP will be monitoring the volume of applications to its Express Entry Human Capital Priorities and International Masters and PhD student streams. These streams will be paused and reopened periodically throughout the year until the province’s 2017 federal allocation is fulfilled. Stakeholders will be informed when streams are temporarily paused and reopened again via the OINP Updates webpage.


2) What is your intake limit and will it apply to all streams?

The OINP is monitoring the intake of applications, and will be responsive to the demand for each of the three streams.

The OINP continues to accept online applications under the Entrepreneur Stream and French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream, and paper-based applications to the Corporate stream. There will be no limit to applications for these streams.

All applications will be processed in the order received.


3) How will I know if the program has reached its application intake limit?

Applicants will be notified in the e-filing system as soon as the intake limit has been met.

At the registration stage, you will receive the following automatic system notice that the program has reached its application intake limit: “Please note that the OINP has reached its registration intake limit for this stream. No new registrations will be accepted for this stream at this time. For more information please visit the OINP website”.

Once the program reaches its application intake limit, you will be unable to complete your registration and the program will not receive any registration information from you.

Individuals are encouraged to monitor the OINP website for updates on intakes to the streams.

Don't wait for their intimation. Send them a duplicate before they ask. Saves you time.

Seems you have not yet registered to the HCP portal since you do not know the available tabs. Just to let you know that it is already closed.

But to answer your question, you can write a letter addresed to OINP on your intention to reside in Ontario and there no limit for that letter. Good luck.
Thanks for your answer! Yes, I have not registered yet since I am still gathering documents. Hope they will open again this year!

Do I need to provide all pages of current passport only? Or all passports required? Note that my current passport is 2 years' old and has 3 years' validity.

Only your current passport. I hope it reopens soon.

Hi Anwar, Just checking is there any one whose application has moved to decision in progress in last couple of days, since OINP announced limiting registration intake and nomination. I think for the last two days they have even stopped or decrease the decision in progress status, as compared to previously.

Yes from DIP they have already approved so they need to nominate, but for applications under assessment they can delay. The latest update will tell how many nominations are left, but based on their update wording I guess they are now looking at Quotas allottment etc. We may see less "DIP status change from assessment" in next few days !
