Ontario PNP invites 48 candidates related to health, agriculture, and manufacturing

On August 11, 2021, Ontario PNP (Provincial Nomination Program) draw was held and invited 48 immigration candidates related to health, agriculture, and manufacturing.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has taken its second-ever In-Demand Skills stream draw based on its new intake system. Ontario’s new Expression of Interest (EOI) replaced the old system, and the interested candidates can register to win a chance to receive the ITA from Ontario.

The Ontario PNP draw doesn't require any scoring system. But they need to be eligible for the In-Demand Skills stream, and jobs should be listed in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) code:

Health and Agricultural occupations:

NOC 3413 – Nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates

NOC 4412 – Home support workers and related occupations, excluding housekeepers

NOC 8431 – General farm workers

NOC 8432 – Nursery and greenhouse workers

NOC 8611 – Harvesting labourers

NOC 9462 – Industrial butchers and meat cutters, poultry preparers and related workers

Manufacturing (outside the Greater Toronto Area only):

NOC 9411 – Machine operators, mineral and metal processing

NOC 9416 – Metalworking and forging machine operators

NOC 9417 – Machining tool operators

NOC 9418 – Other metal products machine operators

NOC 9421 – Chemical plant machine operators

NOC 9422 – Plastics processing machine operators

NOC 9437 – Woodworking machine operators

NOC 9446 – Industrial sewing machine operators

NOC 9461 – Process control and machine operators, food, beverage and associated products processing

NOC 9523 – Electronics assemblers, fabricators, inspectors and testers

NOC 9526 – Mechanical assemblers and inspectors

NOC 9536 – Industrial painters, coaters and metal finishing process operators

NOC 9537 – Other products assemblers, finishers and inspectors

While the candidates who received ITA on August 11, 2021, have 14 days to apply for PNP, which supports their application for PR in Canada.

How to calculate points for Ontario immigration?

Ontario ranks EOI profiles, depending on the number of various human capital factors. Points will be calculated based on the skill levels of the job offered and also Canadian work experience.

The OINP scoring system differs from other streams. It also accounts for wage, education, official language ability, and the region related to study or work. If the candidate responds to the labor market needs, 10 points will be allocated by the province.
