Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) held a new draw for Express Entry candidates on February 22, 2022 | Removes Maximum CRS Score Range.
In the most recent OINP draw, the province invited a total of 773 candidates in its largest Human Capital Priorities Stream draw of the year. The draw also targeted one of the largest CRS ranges ever seen in a Human Capital Priorities Stream draw.
As Canada puts a hold on Federal High Skilled Worker (FSW, CEC, FST) draws, provinces continue to invite overseas candidates from the Express Entry pool.
Human Capital Priorities Draw – February 22, 2022
Dates of Express Entry profiles considered: February 22, 2021 – April 29, 2021
Number of invitations: 773
CRS score range: 455 and Higher (Up to 600)
The maximum of 600 is the most points for Express Entry candidates can get without a provincial nomination. Prior to this draw, candidates whose CRS score was above the maximum range would not be eligible to apply for the nomination.
