The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has now increased its
allocation to 6,600 in 2018. This is an increase of 600 more than 2017
allocation.
OINP also said it will reopen Notifications of
Interest (NOIs) to applicants who qualify under its Express Entry Human
Capital Priorities Stream, which allows Ontario to search the federal
Express Entry pool and select candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker
Class and Canadian Experience Class with at least 400 Comprehensive
Ranking System (CRS) points and who meet other eligible criteria.
An
Express Entry applicant with a provincial nomination will receive an
additional 600 points toward their CRS score, enabling them to have a

On November 8, 2017 Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC) published the latest Express Entry draw with 2000
candidates issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
This is the first draw under the new Tie-Breaking Rule, where in the event that multiple candidates have tied CRS scores, profiles would be ranked according to the date and time of submission of the profiles. The
new ranking system ranks candidates with the same Comprehensive Ranking
System (CRS) score by the date and time their profiles were first
submitted to the Express Entry pool. The tie-break procedure
will prioritize those candidates whose profiles have been in the pool
longer.
