OINP invites 48 immigration candidates to Ontario via Ontario PNP draw

The Ontario PNP draw that was held on August 11, 2021, invited 48 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination for Canada PR.

Ontario’s new EOI system was implemented in this draw that was OINP’s second-ever draw for the In-demand Skills stream. With the new system, EOI replaced the old first-come-first-served system practiced in Ontario PNP.

This draw had no requirements specified for the minimum score. The criteria for candidates included:

• Having a job offer from an employer in Ontario
• Having the eligibility for the In-demand Skills stream

The job offer must be in one of the jobs with specific NOC codes. Here is the list of occupations:

Occupations in Health & agricultural sector

• NOC 3413 – nurse aides, patient service associates, and orderlies
• NOC 8431 – general farmworkers
• NOC 8611 – laborers in harvesting
• NOC 4412 – home support workers and related occupations (housekeepers excluded)

The selected candidates have 14 days to apply for a provincial nomination in Ontario. If they get a provincial nomination, it will help them get closer to Canada PR.

The In-demand Skills Stream

This stream is an immigration program that cares about provincial demand over skill level in occupation. Ontario PNP takes candidates from this stream as Ontario has a requirement of foreign workers not only in the high-skilled category but also the low-skilled category too.

Foreign workers coming to Ontario with a job offer can file an application for a provincial nomination from Ontario. They must have a cumulative job experience of 9 months in Ontario within the past 3 years.

This work experience mustn’t be in seasonal work though. If it’s an experience in a part-time job, the candidate only has to meet the criterion of a minimum number of hours of work. It should be either equal to 1,200 work hours of employment that’s paid for over a period of 18 months. Otherwise, for those who had multiple jobs, the requirement would be a minimum of 30 hours a week for 9 months.
