Candidates under Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills Stream Receive Invitation to Apply for PR
August 11, 2021 – Under Ontario’s new intake system, the province held its second draw for the In-Demand Skills stream resulting in a total of 48 invited immigration candidates to apply for provincial nomination. The said draw does not have any required score, however, candidates who were invited need to be eligible for the In-Demand Skills stream.
The Expression of Interest system is Ontario’s newest intake system, replacing the old first-come-first-served model that they used. In this new system, candidates who were interested can register at any given time for an opportunity to be invited by the Ontario province. This simply means that candidates express their interest to apply for a provincial nomination under the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (OINP).
