Ontario has issued new invitations to apply for a provincial nomination to 75 Express Entry candidates through its Skilled Trades and French-Speaking Skilled Worker streams.<\/p>\n

The latest invitation rounds were held May 16 and 17 and are the seventh that Ontario has held through through the two streams\u00a0since the end of March.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)<\/a>\u00a0said the 45 Express Entry candidates who received invitations through the\u00a0Skilled Trades Stream<\/a>\u00a0submitted their Express Entry profiles between January 1, 2018, and May 16, 2018.<\/p>\n

The 30 Express Entry candidates invited through the\u00a0French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream<\/a>\u00a0submitted their Express Entry profiles between January 1, 2018, and May 17, 2018.<\/p>\n

There is no\u00a0minimum\u00a0Comprehensive Ranking System<\/a>\u00a0(CRS) score requirement for either stream and Express Entry candidates who are nominated by Ontario receive an additional 600 points toward their CRS score.<\/p>\n

Ontario has now issued 697 Notifications of Interest (NOIs) through the Skilled Trades Stream since the start of 2018. Another 438 Express Entry candidates have received NOIs through the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream this year and 2,587 Express Entry candidates have been invited through Ontario\u2019s other Express Entry-linked stream, the\u00a0Human Capital Priorities Stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The OINP says it will continue issuing NOIs to candidates in the federal\u00a0Express Entry pool<\/a>\u00a0who qualify for one of Ontario\u2019s Express Entry streams \u201con a regular basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Skilled Trades Stream is for skilled workers with a valid Express Entry profile who qualify for the\u00a0Canadian Experience Class<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0have work experience in\u00a0an eligible skilled trade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream was launched in 2015 to target French-speaking Express Entry candidates who qualify for either the\u00a0Federal Skilled Worker Class<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0the Canadian Experience Class and who have sufficient English language abilities (CLB 6 or higher).<\/p>\n

There are also unique provincial criteria that candidates must meet.<\/p>\n

Express Entry candidates who received a NOI in these latest invitation rounds have 45 calendar days from the date the NOI letter was issued to submit an online application to the OINP.<\/p>\n

The first step to pursuing any of Ontario\u2019s Express Entry-linked streams is to submit\u00a0a profile to the federal Express Entry pool.<\/p>\n
