Oh yes definitely, as long as your coworker is eligible to apply.
there is currently no limit on number of applicants in a company to apply OINP. In our company about 3 workers applied this year and all got nominated.
OINP - Employer Job Offer : Foreign worker stream

Actually you need to divide the number of citizens + PR in your office to 5 (if in GTA) or to 3 ( if outside GTA) to get the exact number of employees which a company can support per office.
So if there is an office with 30 employees are citizens or PRs, 6 foreign employees or 10 foreign employees can apply based on the office location.

It was a requirement in the past. Currently there is no limit. This year again they proposed this limit but public feedbacks were against that, so the amendment to limit number of applicants per 5 pr residents never passed.
Some immigration consultants are still giving misinformation about this.
In our company there are 8 pr employees in GTA and 3 of us applied and got nominations.
I confirmed this from OINP through email.
My question to OINP:
Hi,
I have a question regarding the “Proposed Amendments to Ontario Regulation 422/17 (General), a Minister's Regulation made under the Ontario Immigration Act, 2015.”
The amendments were proposed in January 16, 2020. Following was proposed for Employer Job offer: International Student Stream and Foreign Worker Stream:
“Introduce limits on the number of applications for approval of an employment position that can be submitted in a calendar year that are proportional to the size of the employer's workforce, as follows:
1 application per 5 existing permanent and full-time employees (employment position within the GTA)
Could you please confirm if these amendments are in order. I am asking specifically for the Employer Job offer: Foreign Worker Stream intake happened today (July 21, 2020). As per OINP website there is no information on this as of today 12:30pm.
their response is as follows:
Hello,
Thank you for your correspondence to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).
Based on external consultation and internal analysis, the Ministry has decided not to proceed with this change at this time. The OINP will continue to look for ways to maximize its limited nomination allocation despite growing demand, as well as look for further opportunities to engage employers on their labour needs.
Thank you for your interest in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
Sincerely,
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program | Programme ontarien des candidats à l’immigration

I have a question about "You must have gained this work experience within the five years prior to submitting your application.".
My part-time experience is more than 3120 hours but it is from June 2015 to August 2018. Does it mean they do not consider my experience before October 2015 (5 years ago from today)?
