Ontario PNP invites 1,031 Express Entry candidates in 18 priority occupations

Ontario invited 1,031 Express Entry candidates with at least one year of work experience in one of 18 occupations on July 27, 2021. Candidates who were invited have their profiles already created in the new Expression of Interest (EOI) pool with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) between 458 and 467.

In this draw, the OINP invited Express Entry candidates to apply for the provincial nomination if they had work experience in one of the following 18 occupations listed on order of their National Occupational Classification (NOC) code:

• NOC 0114 – Other administrative services managers
• NOC 0122 – Banking, credit and other investment managers

Invited Express Entry candidates need to have at least one year of work experience in one of these occupations in order to receive the provincial nomination. If they are nominated under this, or any other Express Entry-linked PNP, they will be bumped to the front of the line to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

Express Entry system

Express Entry is an application management system for three Federal High Skilled immigration programs:  Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Express Entry candidates may be eligible for one or more of these programs.

Once in the Express Entry pool of candidates, IRCC awards points to candidates based on their human capital factors such as age, work experience, education, language ability in English or French, and other factors. The highest scoring candidates are then invited to apply in an Express Entry draw.
