Next OINP HCP Tech Draw in 2022

[rajbabu23]

Hi All,

Any idea when will Ontario conduct the next HCP Tech Draw? Also what would be the draw size and CRS range?

 

[ImpatientDragon]

No we don't know @rajbabu23 Whats your prediction?

 

[rajbabu23]

@ImpatientDragon From previous trend, past 2 to 3 yrs, the longest gap between 2 HCP draws has been 6 months. Considering that there might be a OINP HCP draw after the second fortnight FSW draw. Also I speculate it to be Tech Draw as this year has had only 1 Tech Draw while 2 Targetted Priority Occupations Draw. However I can't speculate about the CRS range
Wish they draw a range within which I fall into. I'm currently at 472 CRS

Update: I meant that there might be an OINP HCP Tech Draw after the second fortnight FSW draw of August month.

I wish writing your CRS here would make IRCC do the draw with preferred CRS range but that's not how it works

Hope your NOC is in Demand list of OINP.

Yes sadly even 480+ is not a safe score anymore. If not for PNPs, our focus should shift towards the implementation of immigration changes based on Bill C-19. Wish at least that would be of our help.

Yes, I agree. My score is 484 but looking at current trends it seems that It is difficult to receive ITA on this. I am hopeful with Non Express Entry PNP

Totally understand your frustration. Its weird, in 2021 they did draws ranging from 463 - 467 but now not even a single tech draw above that range. Its really amusing at times.

My noc is 3012

Hey all,

Hopefully there would an HCP Tech/Draw in the near future while I got an urgent question about EE Profile's occupation and OINP.

Situation: I have two work experiences qualifying for HCP Tech Draw and HCP Priority Occupations Draws successively
Question: Which work experience's NOC code I should use as the primary occupation in my EE Profile?

Best wishes & thanks

 

[YaC]

I don't know if OINP only uses the profile's primary occupation or looks at all work experiences while I don't want to miss this.

BTW: If there were a draw, do all qualified candidates within the range of the score get invitations or it was random?

Please refer this link.

> If you are a FSW candidate then,

• at least one year of continuous paid full-time work experience (or the equivalent in paid part- time work) in Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC)

Your work experience must have been:

• obtained within the last five years from the date of submitting your application to the OINP
• in the same primary occupation as you identified in your Express Entry profile

You may have gained your work experience in Canada or overseas.

Continuous means:

• no breaks in employment over a one year period

Please note: Work experience may consist of back-to-back jobs with the same or different employer(s) (with no gap in between), but at least one year must be in the same NOC occupation as your primary NOC declared in your Express Entry profile.

> If you are a CEC candidate then,

• at least one year of cumulative paid full-time work experience (or the equivalent in paid part-time work) in Canada in Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B of the NOC

Your work experience must have been:

• obtained within the last three years from the date of submitting your application to the OINP
• in one or more of the occupations that you identified in your Express Entry profile
• in Canada while maintaining legal status in Canada

Cumulative means:

• the work you’ve done must add up to one year – it does not have to be one year of continuous work

Yes. All candidates within specified range of CRS score and other criteria do get invited.
