The territory of Ontario issued 470 invitations to apply for a provincial selection for a permanent home to Express Entry competitors through its Skilled Trades and French-Speaking Skilled Worker streams so far this month.

On January 24, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued 371 Notifications of Interest (NOI) in its first draw of 2019 through its Skilled Trades Stream, which is connected to the government Express Entry framework. Candidates who got an NOI in this draw were required to have Express Entry profiles that were made between January 24, 2018, and January 24, 2019.

The Skilled Trades Stream enables the OINP to scan the Express Entry pool for applicants as of now living in Ontario who has at least one year all day work involvement, or the proportional in low maintenance work, in a talented exchange recorded in Minor Group 633 or Major Group 72, 73, or 82 under Canada’s National Occupational Classification (NOC).
