OINP Skilled Trades Stream Latest Draw Invites 535 Applicants

OINP Skilled Trades Stream Latest Draw Invites 535 Applicants

May 26, 2022, sees Ontario issue 535 ITAs under the OINP Express Entry Skilled Trades Stream. And to get an ITA applicants needed a minimum CRS score between 295 and 461.


However, in comparison to the last April 26, 2022, OINP draw, we can see the following:

  • 499 fewer ITAs have been issued.
  • But the CRS score has positively changed. As from the 300 – 461 bracket, the CRS score now is between 295 – 461.


As a result, we can expect the above ITA figures to improve. Ontario has been trying to increase the CRS score margin to select more people who qualify because of the same. And we can assess the same from March 24, 2022, OINP draw and Feb 24, 2022, OINP draw. Both the draws show an increased CRS score range which is a positive sign for applicants seeking nomination for Canada PR.


Getting an ITA under the OINP Express Entry Skilled Trades Stream is not a heavy task. All you have to do is carefully meet the terms such as:

  • Have an active Express Entry profile.
  • Your EE profile meets the terms of 1 of the EE sub-streams such as:
    • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
    • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
    • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  • Also, meet Human Capital Factors like:
    • Age
    • Education
    • Work Experience
    • Language Skill Level.
  • Also, applied to the OINP EE Skilled Trades Stream.
    • Your occupation must be in a skilled trade.
    • Meet licensing requirements (if applicable).
    • Have a minimum of 1 year of work experience in Ontario.
    • Language skill level must be CLB 5 or more for English/French.
    • Have settlement funds. And agree to live, work, and settle in Ontario.
  • Finally, have a qualifying CRS score to get an Invitation to Apply to OINP for nomination.

Ontario selected 5759 applicants up till April 2022

OINP Skilled Trades Stream Latest Draw Invites 535 Applicants. Whereas up till Ontario has issued 5759 ITAs (excluding May draw results). Thus, looking at the graph of draws, we see a good rise in the selection of applicants. Also, the CRS score is lower than before.

The OINP is linked to Canada’s Express Entry (EE) System. And the EE system is globally known to offer quick and easy permanent residency in Canada. Along, with faster processing of applications, the system also offers multiple ways by which you can qualify to apply and claim an Invitation to Apply for Canada PR.

Supposedly, if you get a nomination from Ontario, you will get an extra 600 CRS score. This will increase your overall CRS ranking in the EE poo. But how will then help you in getting an ITA? The EE pool is a space where applications from the EE sub-streams such as FSWP, FSTP, and CEC gather.

However, the battle is to get out of this pool by matching the periodic Express Entry draw cut-offs. The moment you meet or exceed the CRS cut-off, you will automatically get an ITA to submit a complete application for PR in Canada.


In short, why take a longer route to get Canada PR. Apply for the Express Entry PNP Pathway. OINP skilled trades stream latest draw invites 535 applicants. And in the next or upcoming draws, you too can get an invitation.


Applying now is your best shot at living a life of luxury, success, and peace in Canada.
