On February 5, 2024, the Government of Ontario made an announcement regarding the Entrepreneur Stream under Ontario`s Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). The Entrepreneur Stream has temporarily halted the acceptance of applications since December 4, 2023. No new expressions of interest or applications are currently being processed. Despite the suspension, the ministry remains dedicated to supporting immigration efforts through the OINP. The focus is on actively assisting employers in finding talent solutions through immigration, anticipating continuous program growth to meet labour market needs across various sectors in the province. Due to the Entrepreneur Stream application suspension, the Entrepreneur Success Initiative has also concluded. Services previously provided by the Toronto Business Development Centre under this initiative are no longer accessible.
