Invited candidates required a minimum of one year of work experience in one of the above-listed occupations. Besides, they should have gained the work experience within the five years from the date of immigration application. The work experience could be either Canadian or foreign. However, it should be “continuous” for one complete year. Furthermore, it is admissible if candidates have one after the other jobs with different employers but in the same occupation. Please Note: The occupation of the candidate through which he/she secured an invitation from the OINP must be the same one that he/she has listed in his/her express entry profile.

Application process for Ontario’s Express Entry HCP stream

Ontario’s Express Entry HCP stream allows foreign workers with good language proficiency and skilled work experience to apply for a provincial nomination through the OINP. In order to be nominated by the province, a candidate must ensure that he/she has a valid Express Entry profile before applying to the OINP. The Canadian government has allocated 7,600 immigration seats for Ontario this year. Among these allocations, 250 are reserved for temporary workers belonging to NOC skill level C. So, immigrants candidates have a good chance to get nominated by the province of Ontario.
