Today, Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP) also known as Ontario PNP updated their 2022 nominations allocation from IRCC and process times. IRCC allots number of nominations that a particular Canadian province can send to support permanent residency of a foreigner inside or outside Canada.
As per OINP, they have been allocated 9,750 nominations for the year of 2022. Furthermore, OINP has already 4,374 nominations this year as of June 28, 2022. Province’s 2021 allocation was 8,350 plus an additional 250 nominations specifically for temporary foreign workers in intermediate skilled occupations (NOC C).
