Today, a new Ontario Express Entry draw sent out 1,696 invitations for permanent residency under the Human Capital Priorities stream of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).
Valid Express Entry profiles created between September 26, 2022, and September 26, 2023 with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score between 350 and 462 are receiving an invitation to accept provincial nominations from Ontario.
Furthermore, this OINP HCP draw targeted profiles with primary experience in one of the 5 healthcare occupations listed below.
- NOC 31102 – General practitioners and family physicians
- NOC 31300 – Nursing coordinators and supervisors
- NOC 31301 – Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses
- NOC 32101 – Licensed practical nurses
- NOC 33102 – Nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates
Provincial nomination increases the CRS score by 600 points, so, in simpler words, these profiles now have 45 days to accept the invitation and boost their CRS score.
Invited profiles accepting this invitation will then have a total CRS score of 969–1038, making their selection guaranteed in the next IRCC Express Entry draw.
OINP selects the profiles directly from the Express Entry pool of active profiles, usually having the destination province set as Ontario.
There is no separate process to apply to receive a PNP invitation in the Human Capital Priorities (HCP) Scheme, but you need to meet the HCP eligibility criteria.
