Employers must submit job offer details before applicants can register Expressions of Interest (EOIs), with features like My Ontario integration, secure uploads, and online management. No new EOIs can be submitted from June 20 to July 2, existing EOIs will be withdrawn June 21–22, and the OINP system will be offline June 27–29. New EOIs will be valid for 12 months.
