I guess the mixing up parts comes from OINP website itself.
They have several streams.
One is Human capital Priority. In that stream you have to have CRS above 400 points.
Then there is French speaking stream. That one does not have to have any specific CRS points, but they must have French and English.
Now when informing about their draws, they have mentioned HCP even if they were actually sending out NOI for a different stream. So that gave confusion to people.
As each stream has it separate booklet how to apply and what are the conditions to meet.
So if they said that they have issued NOI to French speakers with CRS between 340 and 440 points, they cannot call it HCP. Yes most requirements are the same, but not all of them.
Funny enough they did it only in one week. If ever they invited people with French language but with no or weak English and below 400 points, then such NOI would be useless. Because according their own rules you cannot apply to neither HCP nor to French stream as you would not meet criteria for either of them.
People with job offer do have additional option there. They can still apply for the paper based stream (since they have only 3 EE streams). So once they got nominated, they have to send paper package to CIC.
Classy Ontario, confused as always.
