Ontario Issued New Invitations Under Express Entry Streams With Low CRS 350

Ontario issued 947 invitations to Express Entry candidates under its Human Capital Priorities Stream on August 9, 2018 with Comprehensive Ranking System Score as low as 350.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program says the CRS score ranged from 350 to 439 in the latest draw and Notification of Interests (NOIs) were issued to the applicants whose profile was in the express entry pool between January 1, 2018 and August 9, 2018.

The applicants who are invited in this draw are required to have a job offer letter from the Ontario employer. 

The Human Capital Priorities Stream allows the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program to search the applicants in the express entry pool who meet the stream’s specific criteria. Normally these criteria require express entry applicants to have a CRS score of 400 and above.  However, the targeted draws like this and another held on March 26 have decreased the CRS point score and additionally asking for a job offer letter in Ontario or proficiency in French. 

Though, job offer is not mandatory requirement under Human Capital Priorities Stream. Of the eight draws held through the stream this year, only two draws had job offer requirement. 

Earlier, the province of Ontario has issued targeted NOIs to candidates with work experience in select information communication technology occupations. 

The applicant under express entry pool who receives nomination from the Ontario province gets additional 600 points towards Comprehensive Ranking System score. This further enables them to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in a subsequent draw from the express entry pool. 

The candidates who are issued NOIs in the current draw have 45 calendar days to apply for provincial nomination certificate from Ontario. Visit https://bit.ly/2Pl6qJ4 for more details.
