OINP Human Capital Priorities — Stream Closed (2026)

Stream Closed — May 30, 2026

This OINP stream is no longer accepting applications

On May 30, 2026, Ontario Regulation 47/26 revoked all nine previously operated Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program streams — including Express Entry Human Capital Priorities. Ontario now nominates through a single active stream: the Ontario Workforce Priority (OWP).

What replaced this stream?

The Ontario Workforce Priority stream consolidates all previous OINP pathways into a single 130-point framework with three routes: TEER 0-3 Job Offer, TEER 4-5 Job Offer, and Self-Employed Physician.

The HCP stream that let Ontario draw from IRCC’s Express Entry pool via Notifications of Interest is closed. High-CRS Express Entry candidates now need either an Ontario job offer (OWP), federal-only CEC/FSW draws, or self-employed physician status.
