Author By HSA Team Categories Immigration Visa

Ontario held its PNP draw on February 2, and it invited candidates from the Express Entry pool to apply for provincial nomination.

In this draw, 283 candidates were invited to apply for provincial nomination. The invited candidates had a Comprehensive Ranking System score between 466 and 467. The invited candidates by the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program, are also eligible to apply for Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream (HCP).

This PNP provides the skilled foreign workers with an opportunity to permanently settle in Ontario.

In the following draw, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) invited Express Entry candidates to apply for the provincial nomination. The invited candidates were invited if they possess work experience in one of the following professions:

  1. Banking, credit and other investment managers (NOC 0122)
  2. Advertising, marketing and public relations managers (NOC 0124)
  3. Other business services managers (NOC 0125)
  4. Corporate sales managers (NOC 0601)
  5. Financial auditors and accountants (NOC 1111)
  6. Financial and investment analysts (NOC 1112)
  7. Human resources professionals (NOC 1121)
  8. Professional occupations in business management consulting (NOC 1122)
  9. Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses (NOC 3012)
  10. Business development officers and marketing researchers and consultants (NOC 4163).

 

 

The invited candidates were required to prove a one-year experience in the above occupations.

 

Express Entry is the primary immigration application management system for Canada. It manages the three primary immigration streams of Canada; the streams are:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program
  • Canadian Experience Class

 

The applicants in the PNPs are given points that are based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The applicants are given points on the human capital characteristics such as age, education, skilled work experience, and language proficiency in either English or French. The candidates with the highest CRS score are invited to apply for provincial nomination or Canadian permanent residence.

 

After the applicants apply, the IRCC then specifies the final decision regarding immigration application, and later sends them a confirmation for the permanent residence.

The previous year, Ontario invited 6,716 Express Entry candidates to apply for provincial nomination. These invitations were counted as the largest invitations by the province in that year.
