Hi,
Regarding OINP, Could someone please clarify about following matters:
1) OINP is going to nominate 6,600 immigrants in 2018 according to their latest announcement, so the question is what proportion of that figure will be allocated to the program
"Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream"?
Allocation to the respective streams will be decided by them. No one knows the amount of allocation they assign for each stream.
2) Do they mainly select candidates with work experience in Information and Communications Technology-related occupations? Is there any chance for other occupations such as civil/mechanical/electrical engineers to receive NOI?
It isn't ICT candidates which receive special privileges all the time. Province's target specific NOC's at times which are in-demand. It can be anything. There are lot of candidates who got their profile processed sooner than the one with ICT NOC's. Everyone has the chance to apply and be processed through OINP, ICT candidates alone isn't enough to run the province, don't you think?
3) Based on CRS distribution until 4th January, there are almost 19,000 candidates with crs between 400 and 446, and we all know that people with good crs scores (I mean above 400) are entered the pool on a daily basis. Therefore, the number of OINP allocation for 2018, which is 6,600, is far less than the potential candidates. I was wondering what their criteria is for choosing people? Is it really just based on the date that one submits their profile?
Their basic criteria is simple. Have you chose "Ontario" or "All provinces" and you have 400, then you will receive NOI.
As far as allocated 6,600 that's a welcome sign for candidates with <400. They may show surprises like previous year
Thank you in advance.
