I submitted my oinp application on 18th nov 2017 my status is still SUBMITTED IS this normal or i should contact ontario immigration????
Hi there !
Don't worry your status will change very soon. There have been other applicants that have also waited close to a month before any change of status to assessment.
Their official timeline for processing applications is 30-60 days as given in the link below:

Sometimes your application is showing Submitted status for a longer period of time but in fact the officer may have already given it a preliminary review.
Some applicants have also received ADRs - Additional Documents request from OINP when the status is still showing submitted, which means the application is being reviewed by an officer even though status remains unchanged.
Before the expiry of their official maximum timeline of 60 days, the majority opinion is that OINP officers should not be enquired by phone or email, as the applicant ends up getting only a standard reply that the application is in due process and all applications will be reviewed on a first come first served basis. Since your application submission date has not even completed 30 days time period, it would be wise to wait a bit before checking with OINP.
Surely you should get some good news soon.
Good luck.
