ऑन्टारियो इमिग्रेंट नॉमिनी प्रोग्राम के Skilled Trades Stream बंद, 2,600 से अधिक आवेदन वापस

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program’s Express Entry Skilled Trades Stream has been suspended. No new applications under the Skilled Trades Stream are being received, and all outstanding Skilled Trades Stream applications are being returned to the applicants. Over a hundred skilled workers protested outside Queen’s Park on Wednesday against the recent dismissal of numerous applicants for the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). Alexa Gilmour, a Member of Provincial Parliament for Parkdale—High Park, raised the issue in Parliament. On X, Gilmour writes – Ontario made a promise to these skilled trades workers and that promise was broken. After years of waiting, more than 2,600 people who built their lives, families, and futures here had their applications suddenly returned, without fairness or accountability. I’m calling on the Minister to do what’s right: reinstate these applications, restore transparency, and show the basic respect these workers deserve. Ontario’s Express Entry Skilled Trades Stream is an immigration stream under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). It gives foreign nationals with Ontario work experience in eligible skilled trades the opportunity to apply to permanently live and work in Ontario.
