Ontario PNP removes CRS cap again in Skilled Trades draw, Invited 818 PNP Candidates
On February 24, 2022 Ontario PNP invited 818 Express Entry candidates to apply for a provincial nomination through Ontario Express Entry Skilled Trades Stream.
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has invited applicants who may qualify for the Ontario Express Entry Skilled Trades Stream. These candidates had to have a profile in the Express Entry system with a Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score of at least 359. Ontario invited candidates who had created an Express Entry profile between the dates of February 24, 2021 and of February 24, 2022.
For the second time in a row, Ontario has removed its CRS cap. The maximum points an Express Entry candidate can earn without a provincial nomination is 600. Prior to the February 22 draw, candidates whose CRS score was above the maximum range would not be eligible to apply for the nomination.

Major requirements under this pathway are:
- Candidates need to be living in Ontario with a valid work permit.
- They also need to have a minimum of one year of full-time work experience or the equivalent of part-time work.
- They must have completed this work experience in the province in a skilled trade listed in Minor Group 633 or Major Group 72, 73, or 82 under Canada’s National Occupational Classification (NOC).
Candidates with no job offer can also apply under the Skilled Trades Stream. Contact our immigration experts to learn more.
