A member asked whether the SINP Occupations In-Demand (OID) stream had become entirely online, from initial application through to final submission, without needing to mail paper documents at any stage.
What the thread clarified:- Up to the point of nomination, both EE-linked and OID applications are entirely online. There's no paper component required to reach the nomination stage itself.
- After nomination under OID, you have two options: apply through the online non-EE portal, or send a paper application. The paper route still exists as an option, but it's not mandatory.
- If you want to avoid mailing documents entirely, choose the online non-EE portal option after your OID nomination — this fully replaces the need for a paper-based submission.
The practical takeaway: SINP OID is entirely online through the nomination stage, and after nomination, you can choose the online non-EE portal instead of a paper application if you want to avoid mailing documents — the paper option still exists but isn't required.
