READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please read the entire Corporate Stream Guide and make sure you understand and meet all requirements before submitting your application.
There are different forms required for the corporate applicant (the corporation) and the key staff (maximum 5). However, both the corporate applicant and the key staff application forms and all supporting documentation must be submitted together as one application. Please ensure all documentation is included.
Applications containing documents that are not submitted in the order of the Document Checklist will not be accepted. Your application will be returned.
Applications that have missing, illegible or contain incomplete documents will not be accepted. Your application will be returned.
You may resubmit an application with complete information within 90 days of the date of invitation.
OINP reserves the right to request additional information. Officers assessing your application may request additional documents that are not listed in this checklist if they deem that these documents are necessary to assess your application. Failure to provide the requested documents in the timelines requested by officers will result in the refusal of the application.
You must answer every form/question truthfully without misrepresenting or withholding any information.
You must send copies of supporting documents unless otherwise stated. Do not submit originals of civil documents (e.g. birth certificate or passport) as the application will not be returned. Applicants are strongly encouraged to create a copy of their complete application package prior to submission.
Although you may consider some information in the application form or the supporting documents submitted to OINP to be proprietary or confidential,
41 any such material may be disclosed to a third party, in accordance with the applicant’s consent, and where required by law or if required by a court or tribunal.
Use the tabs in the checklist to separate each section of your application.
Each key staff is required to fill out an application form and provide all supporting documentation required.
o If you have more than one key staff, assign each key staff a letter for each number under the respective tabs. (Ex: Key staff “a” would have documents under tabs 4a and 5a; Key staff “b” would have documents under tabs 4b, 5b; etc.).
Each individual key staff’s completed application (all documents related to the key staff) must be individually sealed and enclosed in a separate envelope.
Staple together forms or documents that have multiple pages.
Refer to the Document Translation section in the Corporate Stream Guide for translation requirements.
All application forms from OINP require original signatures.
Once your application is complete and you have ensured that you have included all applicable documents, please send your completed application package to:
