If you were unable to accept an Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) Notification of Interest (NOI) — for example, from a Human Capital Priorities stream tech draw — the NOI does not carry over or reappear automatically in a later draw for the same Express Entry profile.
What group members said:- You will not receive the same NOI twice on the same Express Entry profile. Once an NOI is issued and not acted on within its window, that opportunity for that profile is gone.
- The recommended path is to create a new Express Entry profile so that you're eligible to be considered again in a future OINP draw, since OINP selects candidates from the pool based on the profile that's active at the time of the draw.
Before recreating a profile, it's worth double-checking your Express Entry and OINP account status directly, since NOI timelines and processes can change — but the consistent advice from the group is that a fresh profile, not the old one, is what gets you back in contention.
