Hello

Is it mandatory to continue the job with which one has claimed 50 points to secure the nomination from Ontario under HCP-CEC(closed permit)?
What will happen if I get ITA after nomination without a job?
No, it is not mandatory to continue the job with which you claimed 50 points to secure the nomination from Ontario under HCP-CEC(closed permit). The Ontario Human Capital Priorities stream (HCP-CEC) is a provincial nomination program (PNP) that is aligned with the federal Express Entry system. To be eligible for this stream, you must have an active Express Entry profile and meet the following requirements:
- At least one year of full-time paid work experience in Canada in a NOC 0, A, or B occupation.
- A bachelor's degree or higher from a recognized post-secondary institution.
- Language proficiency in English or French at the CLB 7 level.
The job offer that you used to claim 50 points is just one of the factors that the Ontario government considers when making a nomination decision. Other factors include your education, work experience, language proficiency, and ties to Ontario.
If you are nominated by Ontario, you will receive a provincial nomination certificate (PNC). This certificate will give you an additional 600 points in the federal Express Entry pool. With these additional points, you are more likely to receive an invitation to apply (ITA) for permanent residence from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
If you receive an ITA after nomination, you are not required to continue working for the same employer. However, you will need to have a job offer in Canada in order to be eligible for permanent residence. If you do not have a job offer, you can still apply for permanent residence, but you will need to demonstrate that you have the ability to find a job in Canada.
Here are some things you can do to increase your chances of finding a job in Canada after receiving an ITA:
- Update your resume and cover letter to highlight your skills and experience that are relevant to the Canadian job market.
- Network with people in your field in Canada.
- Attend job fairs and workshops.
- Use online job boards.
- Reach out to recruitment agencies.
It is important to remember that the Ontario HCP-CEC stream is a competitive program. There are many qualified applicants, so it is important to make yourself stand out. By following the tips above, you can increase your chances of success.
