I have been seeing this message in my OINP portal since the application started. I have an OINP general draw. Do we really need to keep the Express Entry profile active even if we are in the non-Express Entry stream?
Notice of complete application:
Thank you for your application to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). The OINP has reviewed your application for completeness and determined that it is complete. Your application has now moved forward to the assessment stage.

Notice to maintain a valid Express Entry profile:
You must have a valid profile in the Express Entry system from when you apply until you are nominated. If your profile expires during the processing of your application, you must create a new profile and notify us as soon as possible by submitting the following documents by email to ontarionominee@ontario.ca.
• A copy of the letter you received from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) acknowledging your new profile with Express Entry number and job seeker validation code; and
• A copy of the letter received from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada explaining why your old profile became ineligible.
Please be advised there is no action required from you at this time.
