OINP Document Checklists

Overview

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) allows foreign nationals with the right skills, experience and/or education to apply for permanent residence in Ontario.

The program has three main categories and 9 streams that people can apply to online.

Each stream has mandatory documentation that must be included in your application.

Protecting your identity

Take steps to protect your personal information!

Delete or ‘redact’ (black out) credit card numbers and Canadian social insurance numbers from the documents you submit to the program.

Carefully check all your documents for credit card numbers. Pay close attention to every page of each document including:

• bank account summary page, bank statement transaction history and statement of investments
• payments for transcripts, language tests, education credential assessments, and legal status documents; and
• letters of intent

Be aware that credit card numbers can show up in bar codes in financial documents and the body of emails.

Carefully check all your documents including T4 Statement of Remuneration Paid (slip) and Notice of Assessment sent by the Canada Revenue Agency for Canadian social insurance numbers.

Use a heavy black marker to cross out credit card and social insurance numbers so they are not visible in your documents.

Document translation and notarization

All documents submitted to the OINP must be in English or French.

If not, you must include a copy of the original document and a complete, certified or notarized translation.
