Your new application file number is different from your EOI file number. The EOI file number will be greyed out; this is not an error.

These are specific OINP draws that emphasize further that Ontario is determined to meet the demands of regional labour and also providing new opportunities to qualified applicants living already in Canada.
As the application dates are close, invited applicants are urged to take action and pursue all program requirements, and ensure the journey to permanent residency.
As Ontario is still developing its regional immigration policy, additional attraction programs might be introduced, which will provide the province with more opportunities in major economic fields.
These invitations of December 11 contribute to the increased significance of the role of employer-supported nominations and regional selection in the Canadian future of permanent residency.
The fact that the applicants who received the invitation have now got a great chance to move towards permanent residence is a good move because it is one of the most active and region-specific immigration streams in Ontario.
