Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program – OINP held a new tech draw on October 15, inviting Express Entry candidates to apply for a provincial nomination.
OINP has issued targeted notices of interest to applicants who may be eligible for the Human Capital Priorities stream of Express Entry.
A total of 772 principal applicants received notices of intent for the technical draw. Express Entry applicants needed a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score between 462 and 470 to be invited. They also had to have work experience in one of the following professions:
Applicants who wanted to get an invitation did not need a job offer, but they did need at least one year of work experience in one of these tech professions.
They also had to have a valid profile in the Express Entry program. Those who have received the Notification of Interest (NOI) from Ontario now have 45 calendar days to submit their application for provincial nomination.
If they receive a provincial nomination from Ontario, they will automatically earn an additional 600 CRS points for their overall CRS score. This many scores will allow them to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in a subsequent Express Entry draw. This applies to anyone nominated under a Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) in Canada.
This is the fourth technical draw of the year in Ontario. The largest tech draw in 2020 was held on July 29, when 1,288 Express Entry candidates were invited to apply for a provincial nomination.
Eligibility for Ontario Tech Draw
To get an invitation through the OINP tech draw candidates are required to create a profile in Canada’s Express Entry program.
Express Entry program, introduced in 2015, is an application management system for three federal economy class immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. The Ontario Human Capital Priority Stream recognizes applicants from the Federal Skilled Worker Program and the Canadian Experience Class.
All the applicants in the express entry program are ranked according to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) based on their education, work experience, age, and language proficiency in English or French.
OINP tech draws select eligible tech immigrants from the Express Entry pool, to apply for an Ontario provincial nomination. Once the process is complete, applicants will have the opportunity to settle into their tech careers in Ontario.

Ever since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
