Official-source and allowlisted-news checks are scheduled twice daily at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC—approximately 7 or 8 a.m. and 7 or 8 p.m. Toronto time as daylight saving changes. They are not real-time; a change may take approximately 12 hours plus scheduling delay to appear.

Check published criteria, not eligibility

Compare the facts you enter with published OINP criteria. Answers stay in this browser tab, are not placed in the URL, and are not saved to a profile. The report never says that someone is eligible or recommends applying.

Before you start: “Not sure” is a valid answer. It produces an unknown or not-assessed row so missing employer or applicant information remains visible.
Temporarily unavailable

Criteria calculations are suspended

The complete signed applicant-facing source inventory has not passed its current, fresh, confirmed coverage contract. Stored program, requirement, and evidence details are withheld rather than presented as current.

No answers can be entered or calculated until the source state is healthy and the versioned criteria baseline has been refreshed. Use the official source library below in the meantime.

Live open source conflicts

What Maple refuses to resolve automatically

No open conflict records are present in the live conflict log. Historical baseline conflicts are not re-labelled as open after the backend resolves them.

Versioned source manifest

Official source library

Official does not mean every page has the same authority. Legislation, ministry program pages, operational updates, checklists, announcements, and datasets each establish different things.

How Maple applies source authority
Legislation
May establish: Statutory Eligibility. Must not establish: A delegated score, deadline, or process that the legislation leaves to the director or Ministry.
Ministry Program Page
May establish: Delegated Points, Delegated Process, Operational Status. Must not establish: A statutory eligibility rule that conflicts with legislation.
Program Update
May establish: Operational Status, Transition. Must not establish: Eligibility or evidence requirements outside the update’s stated operational scope.
Document Checklist
May establish: Evidence. Must not establish: Eligibility, points, or portal status.
Government Announcement
May establish: Government Context. Must not establish: Eligibility, points, evidence, or an operational deadline.
Federal Methodology
May establish: Wage Methodology. Must not establish: Ontario eligibility or OINP scoring.
Official Dataset
May establish: Wage Data. Must not establish: Ontario eligibility or an unsupported annual-to-hourly conversion.
Classification Standard
May establish: Noc Reference. Must not establish: Ontario eligibility or OINP scoring beyond the published NOC dimensions.

2026 Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program updates (opens in a new tab)Français (ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)
Current

The June 26 entry uses inconsistent timing language: its opening says the changes took effect June 25, while a later section says they came into effect “today.” Maple records the discrepancy and uses June 25 only because O. Reg. 204/26, s. 11 establishes that commencement date under legislative authority.
