On March 9, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) invited 822 Express Entry profiles under the Human Capital Priorities (HCP) stream.
These invitations were sent to profiles created between March 8, 2022 and March 9, 2023 with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores between 469-489. However, only profiles in 42 healthcare-related occupations were eligible for the invites.
The lower range of the CRS cut-off score decreased by 7 points compared to the last HCP draw on February 2, 2023.
This is the third HCP stream draw of the year, with a total of 2,724 profiles invited so far in 2023.
OINP regularly analyzes the Express Entry pool and offers provincial nomination directly to profiles with high-demand occupations based on NOC codes.
The selected profiles receive a provincial nomination that adds 600 extra points to their CRS score. It is important to note that there is no need to register separately with Ontario to be eligible for the HCP stream.
