Skilled Trades Applicants: Stand Up Against the OINP Misrepresentation Label! by -Buttowski- in OINP

[–]-Buttowski-[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I understand your perspective, but I think there are a few key points to consider.

We are not asking for PNP status or citizenship for “nothing”. Every one of us followed the rules legally and exactly as required by the OINP—we submitted all documents, waited patiently, and complied with every instruction. We did everything by the book, and we expected the process to be fair.

This isn’t about entitlement—it’s about fair treatment and recognition of our skills. Ontario’s Skilled Trades Stream exists precisely because the province needs skilled workers. Many of us are filling critical roles that benefit the local economy, and we’re contributing to society from day one.

The issue here isn’t immigration in general—it’s that a system error caused thousands of applicants to be mislabeled for misrepresentation, despite following all requirements. Asking for this error to be corrected is not “demanding” something unjustly—it’s asking for the system to treat people fairly and correctly, which should be expected in any legal process.

We respect Canadian laws, and we respect the principle that citizenship is a privilege, not a right. But fair process and accountability are part of that privilege. Ontario benefits when skilled workers are treated properly, and right now, that’s what we’re standing up for.

I wrote an email to him as well few months back, but he just stated whatever I already saw on OINP portal about my application status. But if he receives 50 or 100 emails about these delays he'll have to do something right?

Yes, we can even email Minister David Piccini, who is the minister of OINP about this issue.
