Ontario Entrepreneur Stream (OINP)
Licensed RCIC guidance on the Ontario Entrepreneur Stream (OINP) and its current status in 2026.
This page explains the current status of the Ontario Entrepreneur Stream under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). It is information only and does not present the Entrepreneur Stream as an active business immigration service.
Current status: Ontario’s current OINP stream structure does not currently present the Entrepreneur Stream as an active intake stream. The OINP has been subject to regulatory changes in 2026 as part of a program redesign. This page is kept as a resource.

Ontario’s current OINP stream structure does not currently present the Entrepreneur Stream as an active intake stream. The OINP has been subject to regulatory changes in 2026 as part of a broader program redesign. Because the program structure is changing, this page is maintained as a resource rather than as an active application pathway, and we do not speculate about whether or when an entrepreneur stream may be offered again. For the current OINP structure, check official Ontario sources.

2. What the OINP is
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program allows Ontario to nominate certain candidates for Canadian permanent residence, with the federal government making the final decision. Ontario operates several streams, and the program’s structure is set by the province and adjusted from time to time.
3. What to do now
If you are exploring business immigration to Canada, the most useful step is an assessment of which routes are actually active for your profile, including provincial entrepreneur streams in other provinces that are currently open. We can review your situation and identify current options.
4. How MAK helps
MAK works with licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants and a CPA. We provide an honest assessment of current, active business immigration options and help you avoid planning around a stream that is not currently accepting applications.
