A range of candidates in the
Express Entry pool who have work experience in one of many Information and Communications Technology (ICT) occupations were prioritized by the province of Ontario under a new initiative that began on June 26. Now, Ontario has clarified which candidates have been targeted for selection by the province.
Under this initiative, Ontario searched the Express Entry pool specifically for ICT workers under the Express Entry-aligned
Human Capital Priorities (HCP) stream, part of the
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).
Candidates with work experience in any of the following ICT occupations were eligible to receive a Notification of Interest (NOI, effectively an invitation to apply for a provincial nomination),
even if they scored less than 400 points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Normally, Ontario only invites candidates with 400 or more CRS points.
