Re: International Masters and PhD Graduate Streams and Human Capital Priorities Stream to reopen next week with online application systems

Next week, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) will be reopening and launching online applications for the:
1) International PhD Graduate Stream
2) International Masters Graduate Stream, and
3) Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream.

For the international student streams, eligible applicants must have graduated from a publicly funded Ontario university.

For more efficient processing of applications, the International PhD Graduate, International Masters Graduate, and Human Capital Priorities streams will pause and reopen periodically.

New for International Masters Graduate Stream
When this stream reopens, eligible applicants will now be able to apply if they are residing outside Ontario. Applicants will also now have the option of using an alternate service provider to obtain their language test.

Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream
When this stream reopens, the OINP will begin searching the federal government’s Express Entry pool for qualified applicants and issue Notifications of Interest.

Please check this webpage for further updates on February 21, 2017.

Yes sure, but what is bothering me that they still didn't give us any information regarding their new requirements. I am assuming its probably the same, as they haven't mentioned anything.

Thanks and good luck to anyone waiting for a nomination :)

Yup it's probably the same. The most important requirement was CRS 400 cutoff. Many had predicted that it may rise to 450 but the last draw(cutoff 447) shattered those predictions. But nothing can be said. Let's wait and watch.

Yes, if they maintain last year's eligibility criteria, it would help many who have been waiting in the pool.

What are the preferred professions for the Ontario's Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream. I am in finance do I have a chance of being selected when it opens? I will have 432 points on the 21st of February.

The one thing to be noticed is they will open and pause periodically which means only 1500 invitations per quarter. People will have to wait a lot. 1500 divided in three streams means just 500 from EE HUMAN CAPITAL STREAM. They will invite 500 in few days and pause for three months.
