Hello everybody,

I need help figuring out the application period for OINP Masters Graduate stream - I need to know if I still can apply.

The official OINP Masters Graduate website says,

"You must submit your application within two years of completing the requirements necessary to obtain your master’s degree.
This means that the date on your degree must be within two years of your OINP application submission date, not the date you received the invitation to apply. For example, if your degree is dated June 1, 2019, you must apply to this stream on or before June 1, 2021."

I highlight the words "the date on your degree" on purpose. The date on my official degree which I received from the University of Ottawa is "December 5th, 2019". The last official transcript with all the grades has been given to me on October 23, 2019, along with the "Statement of Degree Requirements Completed", which is dated the same date, Oct.23, 2019. The "Statement..." also has the following line: "Has completed the necessary requirements for the degree on this date: Oct.18, 2019".

My question is: does anybody know what they count as "the date on the degree"? The actual date I have on my official degree, or the date(s) stated on the transcript / Statement of Degree Requirements Completed?

Maybe those who applied for this program and had the same question could share their experience, I would much appreciate that.

Thank you in advance!

Hello I have the same query. So which date did you write? Also I am having this issue while submitting EOI "we have encountered an error during your submission. Please wait a minute and try again by selecting the submit button" . Did you encounter this problem?
