The Ontario Entrepreneur Stream Is Closed to New Applicants
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program Entrepreneur Stream is no longer a new-applicant pathway. This page should not be read as an invitation to prepare a new OINP Entrepreneur Stream business plan or business concept.
New applicants should not commission a business plan or business concept for this closed stream.
If you are starting from the beginning, your time and budget should usually be directed toward an active business immigration option, an entrepreneur work permit strategy, or another provincial pathway that is currently accepting applicants.
Closed Stream
The OINP Entrepreneur Stream should be treated as closed for new Ontario entrepreneur applications.
Existing File Support
Existing applicants may still need business plan or business concept updates, revised financial forecasts, operational documents, or progress reporting.
Alternative Planning
Entrepreneurs who want to establish a business in Canada should compare active federal, work permit, and provincial options.

FAQ
Ontario PNP Business Plan FAQ
Clear answers for visitors who arrive on this page after the closure of the OINP Entrepreneur Stream.
Is the OINP Entrepreneur Stream open to new applicants?
No. The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program Entrepreneur Stream is closed to new applicants. New entrepreneurs should not prepare a business plan or business concept specifically for a new application under this closed stream.
Should I order an Ontario PNP business plan or business concept for a new application?
No. If you do not already have an existing OINP Entrepreneur Stream file, you should not commission a new business plan or business concept for this closed pathway. It is better to review active Canadian business immigration options.
Can Mikel Consulting still help with an existing OINP file?
Yes. Existing applicants may need support with business plan or business concept updates, revised financial forecasts, operational documents, implementation summaries, progress reporting, or materials requested in connection with an existing file.
What was an Ontario PNP business plan or business concept previously used for?
It was previously used to explain or summarize the proposed Ontario business, market opportunity, applicant role, investment plan, hiring plan, operations, and financial projections. That historical use does not mean the stream is open to new applicants today.
What business immigration pathways should entrepreneurs consider instead?
Depending on the situation, entrepreneurs may consider C11 Entrepreneur Work Permit business plans, Intra-Company Transfer business plans, BC PNP entrepreneur pathways, Alberta entrepreneur pathways, or other active provincial options.
Do you provide immigration legal advice?
No. Mikel Consulting prepares business plans, business concepts, financial forecasts, and supporting business documentation. Applicants should work with a licensed immigration professional for legal advice, eligibility strategy, and application filing.
