Ontario Express Entry linked streams seeing a rise in ITAs

For the current draw, when looking at the last June 21, 2022, OINP draw we see 7 points rise in ITAs. However, we also see dramatic jumps in past draws such as:


So, we can see changes in the selection of applicants for OINP nomination in the past draw. As a result, we must expect such changes in the upcoming draws. However, with each passing draw, we can expect the gap between draws to reduce both in timing and the number of ITAs being issued.


As a result, applicants who wish to get a nomination for a Canada PR must apply soon. Because irrespective of the fluctuation in ITA numbers we see a rise in ITAs.

Thus, in 2022, OINP EE linked streams have selected up to:

  • Human Capital Priorities stream – 1,897
  • French-Speaking Skilled Worker stream – 1,379
  • Skilled Trades stream – 6,166


Should you apply to an Express Entry (EE) System linked OINP sub-stream?

Ontario holds 5th OINP French Speaking Skilled Worker Stream draw. Also, the OINP sub-stream is linked to the Express Entry (EE) System. But how can applicants benefit from this link? The reason for the same is that to get an ITA under this stream firstly you must meet terms such as:

  • Firstly, apply to the EE system under 1 of the EE sub-streams:
    • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
    • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
    • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  • Also, meet Human Capital Factors:
    • Age
    • Education
    • Work Experience
    • Language Skills
  • Besides, meet the terms for the French-speaking OINP sub-stream.
  • Finally, to get an ITA, have a CRS score of 326 or more.


However, once you get a provincial nomination certificate from Ontario, your EE profile gets an extra 600 CRS score. So, with this addition to your overall CRS rank in the EE pool, your chances of getting an ITA for Canada PR go up.

But we must not ignore the Base OINP sub-stream over the EE-linked sub-streams. However, when you get a nomination from OINP, you will have to apply to IRCC for Canada PR.

Besides, you will get Canada PR in both cases. But the frequency and the volume by which the EE system selects PR applicants are very high. As a result, OINP base PNPs do not select people in a very large number. So, you may have to wait for a long time for a nomination. So, you can further apply for permanent residency in Canada.


In short, Ontario holds 5th OINP French Speaking Skilled Worker Stream draw. Thus, make the right choice! And finally, apply now!
