Ontario announces increased allocation for 2018 and reopens Human Capital Priorities Stream
Seven other Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program streams also
accepting applications
Ontario has announced an increased Provincial Nominee
Program allocation for 2018 and the opening of its popular Express Entry Human
Capital Priorities Stream, along with seven others.
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has been given
the green light to nominate 6,600 immigrants in 2018, an increase of 600 more
than its official 2017 allocation from Canada’s federal government.
The OINP also said it will resume issuing Notifications of
Interest (NOIs) to applicants who qualify for its Express Entry Human Capital
Priorities Stream, which allows Ontario to search the federal Express Entry
pool and select candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker Class and Canadian
Experience Class with at least 400 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points
and who meet other criteria. For more information on Human Capital Priorities
requirements, please click here.
Any Express Entry candidate with a provincial nomination
receives an additional 600 points toward their CRS score, putting them well
within reach of an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence.The Human Capital Priorities Stream issued NOIs on a number
of occasions in 2017, including a special opening last July that waived the
requirement to have at least 400 CRS points for Express Entry candidates with
work experience in a number of Information and Communications
Technology-related occupations.
Anyone who receives an NOI through the Human Capital
Priorities Stream now has 45 calendar days to submit their application online
for provincial nomination.Ontario’s two other Express Entry-aligned streams, the
Express Entry French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream and the Express Entry
Skilled Trades Stream, have also opened and will be issuing NOIs.
