Nope, that is not the case. Evidently, they go through profiles (possibly based on NOC but they haven't revealed their NOC list to anyone) and then they are the ones who send the NOI.What do you mean by apply to Ontario? I don't believe you have to explicitly apply to Ontario, you just need to mark as one of the provinces in your profile and it is picked automatically if your CRS > 400. Is it not the case?
