All 8 OINP streams just closed — what actually replaced them?
oinp_watcher
I was planning around the Human Capital Priorities stream and now I hear it's gone. What's the new Ontario stream and does anything from the old streams carry over?

Ontario closed all eight of its previous OINP streams on June 26, 2026 and replaced them with a single new Ontario Workforce Priority stream, built around having a real Ontario job offer rather than the old Expression-of-Interest-on-general-profile model. Nothing from the old Human Capital/Masters-PhD streams carries over automatically, it's a genuinely new stream with its own criteria. Full breakdown at /guides/oinp-2026-changes and /guides/pr/pnp/ontario. General information from my own experience, not legal advice — for anything specific to your file, a licensed RCIC or immigration lawyer can look at your actual documents.
