The Canadian province of Ontario has issued a total of 142 Notifications of Interest to candidates in the Express Entry pool in two draws, which took place on April 11 and 12.<\/span><\/p>\n

The draws conducted were for the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)\u2019s Express Entry-aligned\u00a0French Speaking Skilled Worker Stream<\/a>\u00a0(FSSW) and\u00a0Skilled Trades Stream<\/a>. Since the draw was for candidates who met the criteria for the FSSW and Skilled Trades Stream, there was no minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score requirement to receive a Notification of Interest, or NOI, for these draws.<\/p>\n

Under the FSSW Stream, 55 candidates who have submitted their Express Entry profile between January 1, 2018 andApril 12, 2018 were issued a NOI. An additional 87 candidates with Express Entry profiles submitted between January 1, 2018 and April 11, 2018 were issued NOIs under the Skilled Trades Stream.<\/p>\n

The FSSW Stream was launched in 2015 to help the OINP select French-speaking skilled workers who also have sufficient English language abilities and who want to live and work permanently in Ontario.<\/p>\n

The Skilled Trades Stream helps trades workers with experience in an\u00a0eligible trade<\/a>\u00a0to settle in Ontario through the use of the Express Entry selection system.<\/p>\n

Invited candidates with a successful application to the OINP will obtain 600 additional CRS points, leaving them well positioned to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) at a later federal Express Entry draw.<\/p>\n

OINP data show that 791 Express Entry candidates have been issued NOIs under the two streams this year.<\/p>\n

In addition to these streams, the OINP has been issuing NOIs on a regular basis to candidates through its\u00a0Express Entry-linked Human Capital<\/a>\u00a0(HCP) Stream. The HCP Stream has a minimum CRS requirement of 400 points.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of 2018, the OINP has invited a total of 3,378 candidates from the Express Entry pool.<\/p>\n

Candidates in the Express Entry pool do not apply directly to Ontario\u2019s Express Entry streams. Candidates must first obtain a NOI from Ontario through their IRCC online account.<\/p>\n

Once a NOI has been received, candidates have 45 calendar days from the date the NOI letter was issued to submit an online application to the OINP.<\/p>\n

In order to pursue any of Ontario\u2019s Express Entry-linked streams, Candidates must first enter the Express Entry pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
