Ontario: Introducing the new expression of interest system
https://www.ontario.ca/page/2021-ontario-immigrant-nominee-program-updates

Finally the first-come-first-serve model has been ended!

LOL, as a former OINP applicant I find hilarious how this is basically Express Entry 2.0 but with wage distinction and 22 months of processing times. Having +12 months of work experience in a NOC A or B, I can't see how anyone would choose to apply for this instead of CEC.

Canadian work experience: length

(Cumulative)

• 12 Months or more – 4 points
• Less than 12 months – 0 points

I have 2 applications in process (EE and paper based). I am going on mat leave in 2 weeks. Do I need to inform IRCC I am on mat leave or they will only need to know when I give birth to a child, that's it? Please share your experience. Thanks!

maybe there will be folks who'd prefer this stream instead of CEC. for this PNP are they taking fees from inlanders?

Lol 22 months of processing time is horrible

After seeing the new OINP NOI system, I could see some of the criteria implemented into EE:

• education – level and field of education and where completed
• language – English or French
• regional immigration – intention to settle outside of the Greater Toronto Area
• skill and work experience level
• earnings history
• other factors relevant to employment prospects – job offer in Ontario, Canadian work experience
• strategic priorities – attributes that would address immediate labour market needs in Ontario or a region of Ontario

Right now, for EE it doesn't really matter if you have a PhD in Social Science or in Engineering, applicants are ranked equally according to their highest level of education. For OINP they're doing a break down of your score depending in your field of studies. See the scores below.

• Engineering – 10 points
• Health care – 10 points
• Math and Computer Science – 9 points
• Business and Administration – 7 points
• Trades – 7 points
• Social, Legal, and Education – 6 points
• Arts and Humanities – 5 points

If a system like this was introduced in EE, two applicants with the same score would get their score recalculated depending on their field of studies. If we have two identical profiles but one is an engineering graduate and the other a philosophy grad, the engineer would get twice as many "field of studies" points. Until now PNP has been addressing province-specific needs, but I could see this happening to address labour market shortages.

Tbh this is how it should have been in the first place.

what if an applicant holds two different qualifications?

Just like right now - what’s ur highest qualification for which want to claim points. This really makes sense ,but I’m not sure if ircc would do such a thing as WES Currently doesn’t indicate type of degree awarded.

if an applicant holds a Masters in engineering and a Masters in Business ?

see all I’m saying is, it is very much possible for this kind of system to come into picture. Regarding your question you may have to state what kind of degree you have and claim points for it.

FSW is popular because anyone can be a part of it and that doesnt help Canadian Labour market in any way. May be they will come up tech draws like OINP. It’s all speculation, but the word reforms in the budget really points out in this direction only.

 

[dankboi]

review the history of draws. you're uninformed about the things you're talking about.

please explain a bit mate about the past draws. I am not getting the insights from the draws as you do

If you go to the above link and look at the draws over the years, you'll notice that the standard had been FSW before the pandemic. We also saw a return of the serial 5k FSW draws during the pandemic in 2020. So it is funny to say FSW doesn't help the Canadian labour market. nonetheless, the government may/will adjust EE to the current needs and nobody on this forum can have the smallest information (not idea, everybody has an idea) about those needs.
