安省省提名PNP项目今日（5月9日，周一）突然大面积叫停，根据移民厅官网发布的声明，所有在5月9日下午5点之后签收的申请将会被退回。

今晚，对于所有在安省学习生活的朋友来说，都将会是一个不眠之夜。

概括地说，本次安省PNP叫停的包括硕士毕业生、博士毕业生、国际学生雇主担保和快速通道优才类别，5月9日下午5点之后签收的申请会被退回。

本次暂停的核心内容如下：

1. 400分以上的快速通道优才类别项目，暂停发PT；

2. 暂停国际工人和国际学生雇主担保的Pre-screen，已有的pre-screen会被处理，已经获得pre-screen的可以在60天之内递交申请；

3. 暂停硕士毕业生、博士毕业生移民项目，5月9号下午5点之后的申请会被退回，之前签收的申请会被处理；

4. 法语类别和投资移民类别没有暂停，但这类符合条件的申请人非常少；

5. 暂停是因为申请数量太多，2017年的安省名额会在11月拿到明年的配额，所以6个月之内有望重开一些项目。

所以，对于广大的研究生和博士生来说，PNP项目只是暂停一下，并没有说永远取消，大家等今年11月份移民局的新消息吧~

IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION

As a result of changes Ontario has made to more closely align the streams of the program with the needs of its labour market, the province has already received the sufficient number of OINP applications to meet its 2016 federal allocation. This is further proof that Ontario remains a very sought after destination for highly-skilled workers.

Following the lead of other jurisdictions, Ontario has made the responsible decision to place a temporary pause on the intake of applications for select, high-volume OINP streams. Other provinces have also done this in the past after fully maximizing their allotments. It’s important to note that lower-volume streams of the OINP and other options continue to be available.

Ontario stopped sending Notifications of Interest (NOIs) for the OINP Human Capital Priorities (Express Entry) stream effective February 16, 2016.

Ontario temporarily paused the intake of new applications for the following select, high-volume OINP streams effective 5 p.m. EDT on May 9, 2016:

Employer Pre-screen
International Student – Masters Graduate stream
International Student – PhD Graduate stream

All applications for the Employer Pre-screen and International Students (Masters Graduate and PhD Graduate) streams sent after 5 p.m. EDT on May 9, 2016 will not be processed and will be returned to the applicant along with the unprocessed payment.

The OINP will continue to accept applications from Foreign Worker and International Student with a Job Offer applicants as Employer Pre-screen applications are assessed. Only those Foreign Worker and International Student with a Job Offer applicants whose job offer has been approved through the Employer Pre-screen application process may apply to the OINP.

These applicants will have 60 days from the date of the Employer Pre-screen approval letter to apply to either of these streams.
The OINP continues to accept and process applications for the French-Speaking Skilled Worker stream and the Corporate stream. The OINP also continues to accept Expressions of Interest for the Entrepreneur stream.

Ontario remains a top destination for workers and their families from all over the world.

Ontario anticipates that it will receive its 2017 nomination allocation from the federal government before the end of November 2016, and the province expects to be in a position to accept applications for some streams in six months.

Given the positive effect of the program on Ontario’s economy, the province continues to engage the federal government on nominee numbers.

最后，OTTAWAZINE祝所有已经递交材料的朋友，顺利通过！
