Today, OINP Draw (Ontario PNP) invited 1,521 Express Entry Profiles under skilled trades stream. Candidates having Express Entry CRS score of 320 and above were sent the Notification of Interests (NOIs). Similar to previous draw, there was no upper cap of CRS score; although, the CRS cut off increased by 10 points as compared to last skilled trades draw in July 2022.
Profiles created between September 7, 2021 – September 7, 2022 were considered for this draw. Furthermore, skilled trades stream has invited 6,166 Express Entry Profiles in total, this year. You can find the list of invited NOCs (National Occupation Classification) in the later part of this article.
Focus has shifted to PNP (Provincial Nominee Programs), rather than relying solely on Express Entry. This is because of high CRS cut off in recently resumed Express Entry All Program Draw.
