Abstract: Let $ N$ and $ P$ be smooth manifolds of dimensions $ n$ and $ p$ ( $ n\geq p\geq2$) respectively. Let $ \Omega^{I}(N,P)$ denote an open subspace of $ J^{\infty }(N,P)$ which consists of all Boardman submanifolds $ \Sigma^{J}(N,P)$ of symbols $ J$ with $ J\leq I$. An $ \Omega^{I}$-regular map $ f:N\rightarrow P$ refers to a smooth map such that $ j^{\infty}f(N)\subset\Omega^{I}(N,P)$. We will prove what is called the homotopy principle for $ \Omega^{I}$-regular maps on the existence level. Namely, a continuous section $ s$ of $ \Omega^{I}(N,P)$ over $ N$ has an $ \Omega^{I}$-regular map $ f$ such that $ s$ and $ j^{\infty}f$ are homotopic as sections.
