Dear future neighbour,

As of February 26, 2024, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has implemented a new requirement for its application process. Moving forward, all applicants are mandated to include a consent form along with their applications. This form likely signifies the applicant’s acknowledgment and authorization for the processing of their application by the OINP. Applicants are advised to ensure compliance with this updated procedure to avoid any delays or complications in the processing of their immigration applications.

The consent form must be completed, correctly dated, signed by the applicant, signed by the applicant’s spouse and dependents (if applicable) and uploaded with other documents in the application.

See below important changes to note for OINP applications:

  1. The PDF Attestation form for OINP Expression of Interest system stream applications is no longer required.
  2. The Applicant Consent form must be completed after receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) or a Notification of Interest (NOI).
  3. This form cannot be signed by your representative on your behalf.

Applicants must carefully review the stream-specific document checklist to ensure that the mandatory documents are submitted when applying to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).

Dear future neighbour,

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is set to commence a new stream in the tourism and hospitality sector. Effective from March 1, 2024, applications sent under the tourism and hospitality sector will be accepted by Alberta Immigration.

This development will definitely increase the employment rate in the province and boost its economy.

To be eligible for the Tourism and Hospitality stream, applicants must have the following qualification:

  • Applicants must hold a legitimate full-time, non-seasonal employment offer from an authorized company in the relevant industry.
  • Applicants must have satisfied the requirements to permanently establish themselves in Alberta and have worked for a tourist or hospitality company for at least six months.

Below are the current Alberta Immigration Program Pathways for Permanent Residency:

1. Alberta Express Entry Stream
2. Accelerated Tech Pathway for Express Entry
3. Alberta Opportunity Stream (Temporarily paused)
4. Religious Workers Eligibility program
5. Rural Renewal Stream
6. Rural Entrepreneur Stream
7. Foreign Graduate Entrepreneur Stream
8. Graduate Entrepreneur Stream

The Alberta Opportunity Stream Program has been temporarily put on hold. However, applications received before the program was suspended will be reviewed while applications that were drafted and not filed or awaiting fee approval will not be accepted until further notice from AAIP.
