Ontario Targets Nurses, Bankers, and Food Service Managers in Its Latest PNP Draw
January 12, 2022 – Ontario province held its second draw and invited a total of 501 Express Entry candidates to apply for provincial nomination. These invited candidates all had profiles in the province’s Express Entry system and have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of between 464 and 467 points. For this draw, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) invited all the candidates who may qualify to enter the Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream (HCP). Through this PNP, foreign workers are given the opportunity to launch their respective careers in Ontario province.
Candidates received an invite from the OINP if they had work experience in either one of the following occupations listed below along with its National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes:
- NOC 2161 – Mathematicians, statisticians, and actuaries
- NOC 3012 – Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses

Once they receive a nomination through this draw or any other Express Entry linked PNP draw, they will be automatically bumped to the front line to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
