RE: Ontario Immigration Nomination Program delayed wait times. 

 

Dear Minister Piccini, 

 

Recently my office has received an influx of messages from constituents expressing concerns about the status of their OINP applications due to extreme wait times that well-exceed the ministry’s prescribed average wait times.

 

In one case, my constituent’s application has been in the decision process for 12 months with only 2 months left on their work permit. You can imagine the distress this is causing and the negative consequence it will bring if they do not receive an outcome soon. 

 

My question for you is, what is your plan to address the backlog of applications? I urge you to immediately take action to alleviate this issue and support the OINP applicants. 

 

Thank you for your time and attention to this issue. I look forward to your prompt response that will rectify this problem.

 

Sincerely,

Kristyn Wong-Tam
