Software Engineers and Designers Lead Ontario Nominees

Majority of Ontario Immigrant Nominees are Software Engineers and Designers

There has been a recent report that has concluded that Ontario’s Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) shows software engineers and designers as the leading occupations among nominees in the year of 2017. Interestingly enough, the majority of these nominees come from India and China. This update was produced by Ontario’s Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration who ultimately provides any information pertaining to Ontario’s Immigrant Nominee Program as well as any other significant information on Ontario’s immigration strategy. Therefore, in this article, I will address the report and other pertinent information regarding Ontario’s Immigrant Nominee Program.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program was established and intended to allow the province of Ontario to nominate skilled foreign nationals, including their families, for permanent residency in Canada. Under this program, the potential foreign nationals must have a connection with the province of Ontario. The specific foreign nationals that are targeted through the OINP program include skilled workers, entrepreneurs as well as international students. Ontario employers are also permitted to participate in this program by supporting their efforts to attract and obtain skilled workers to work for them in Ontario.

New Targeted Occupations for Express Entry in Ontario

New Targeted Occupations for Express Entry in Ontario

Human Capital Priorities (HCP) Stream Introduced in Ontario

In Canada, Ontario is the most populated province and it continues to be a very popular destination for new immigrants looking to settle in Canada. Luckily, Ontario has an immigrant nomination program that helps skilled foreign nationals who have work experience obtain permanent residency in Canada, specifically Ontario, and thus contribute to the Canadian economy. It is important to note that the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is quite helpful to any Express Entry candidate as it provides them with the most points out of all Express Entry factors. For instance, a successful candidate may be able to obtain up to 600 additional points from the PNP program. As a result, they may be able to receive an invitation to apply at the next available draw for the Express Entry pool. Additionally, candidates under the Express Entry pool, who have work experience in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) occupations, are now prioritized by the Ontario province under this new initiative that was introduced on June 26, 2017. In this article, I will address the new Stream and how it affects the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) and Express Entry altogether.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Workers

In order to qualify under this Stream of Human Capital Priorities (HCP), a part of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), candidates must be eligible as ICT workers under Express Entry. As of June 26, Ontario has specifically targeted these types of workers for their province. The province of Ontario is searching for candidates under Express Entry with experience in specific ICT occupations and as a result the candidates are eligible to receive a Notification of Interest (NOI), which was previously called an invitation to apply for provincial nomination. Thankfully, this is even the case if they had scored less than 400 points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
