The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) held a draw under their Human Capital Priorities stream on October 6, 2021. This is the first draw Ontario has held under this stream since July 27, 2021.
In their most recent draw, OINP issued 486 invitations to candidates with experience in one of 17 priority occupations. To be considered in this round of invitations, candidates must have also had an active Express Entry profile in the pool of candidates with a CRS score between 463-467, and met the requirements of Ontario’s Human Capital Priorities stream. The Human Capital Priorities stream is one of the Human Capital streams of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).

What is Ontario’s Human Capital Priorities Stream?
Ontario’s Human Capital Priorities Stream is aligned with the Express Entry system and invite qualifying candidates directly from the Express Entry pool. In addition to meeting the requirements to submit an Express Entry profile, candidates must also hold a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, or PhD to be considered. Individuals must meet both the program requirements and the draw requirements to receive an invitation to apply for nomination.
Ontario holds two types of draws under the Human Capital Priorities Stream: Tech Draws and Priority Occupation draws. Each draw targets a CRS range and a set of NOC codes. OINP may also target additional factors depending on the needs of the province. While the NOC codes for the Tech Draws remain consistent, the Priority Occupation NOC codes change in response to Ontario’s labour market demands.
Once a candidate receives a notification of interest on their Express Entry portal, they have 45 days to submit an application to Ontario through the province’s online portal. When submitting an online application, applicants must pay a non-refundable processing fee of $1,500CAD. Once a candidate receives a nomination from Ontario, an additional 600 points is added toward their CRS score, essentially guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in one of the subsequent Federal Express Entry draws.
