Well, the HCP Ontario draw happened on Jan 14 had 1,493 invites and my NOC 0124 was selected at that time by Ontario. People didn’t accept the Ontario EOI at that time since they got invite directly on Jan 23 and 30 (draw with 438 scores).
That means, Ontario target didn’t fulfill at that time and they had to resend the invites to same NOC’s to achieve their target. Hence, 1k invites have been sent on May 31 with almost same list of NOC codes. But, Yes, this time their selection of CRS range and date criteria was quite broad. So, this may happen most of the people who’re in 455+ range, won’t go with HCP and will not accept (as they’ll get direct ITA). So, the chances of same NOC’s are higher again whenever they’ll resend invites in next quarter.
So, you can check if there is any scope to adjust your NOC code as per the current list they shortlisted. This way, you’ll increase your chances of getting invite higher than others. Hope this makes sense!
