patnikrishna said:since the 17 th Nov applicant mentioned that they're in Canada on a visa ( not tourist ) , I think this does have to do with employability as well.
the more the probability that someone has to getting a job and settling quickly ( so that OINP doesn't have to worry about unemployed people as a whole ) the quickly they'll get nomination.
this is somewhat different than the "in demand jobs and professions" in Ontario. this is actually a case of someone on the timeline to get the nomination but at the same time getting a potential job.
just my 2 cents.
Forgot to mention, I received my Visa during the application process and told AB this, he then asked for this to be sent across as additional doc. I had previously been in and out the country many times as a BusinessVisitor prior and during the application.
