i got another reply again as follows from My province
Dear Madam/Sir,
Thank you for your correspondence to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).
We appreciate your patience during this challenging time and understand you have questions with respect to nominations by the OINP. Nominees and employers with approved employment positions were advised in their approval letters that the approval was conditional upon the nominee continuing to be employed in the approved employment position throughout the nomination period (i.e. until permanent residence). This means that the nominee’s terms of employment must remain consistent throughout the nomination period and includes:
- employer;
- position title and duties;
- wage;
- hours of work; and
- work location.
Nominees
If you are a nominee, you
do not need to contact the OINP
unless your Ontario employer has notified you that (i) your job offer has been withdrawn; or (ii) you have been terminated (i.e. you lost your job with the employer). If a nominee indicates they have been terminated, the OINP will confirm with the employer and the nominee will be included on all correspondence.
Employers
Employers should
notify the OINP of any material changes to nominees’ employment terms, excluding temporary layoffs under the
Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA).
No change in employment
If there are no changes to a job offer/employment position (continues to be permanent, full-time, meets program wage requirement, etc.), the OINP will continue to support the nomination. There is no requirement to contact the program.
Temporary layoff
If a job offer/employment position has been affected by a COVID-19 related
temporary layoff under the ESA but otherwise continues to meet program criteria (permanent, full-time, meets program wage requirement, etc.) the OINP will continue to support the nomination. There is no requirement to contact the program at this time. The OINP may ask for supplementary information from employers with respect to such temporary layoffs at a future date.
Nominee terminated (job loss)
If a nominee’s employment has been terminated due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the OINP will proceed to cancel the approval of the employment position but will notify the nominee and provide 90 days to obtain the support of another employer. The nominee will be given the opportunity to submit a new application (with applicable fee).
No application will be denied, and no approval cancelled, without notice to the applicant and employer. Responses to such notices will be carefully reviewed before a final decision is made.
Thank you for your interest in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
Sincerely,
