Ontario PNP Draw (OINP):

This Ontario Provincial Nominee Program - PNP draw for Express Entry candidates comes out after more than two months. The last one was on September 26, 2023. On November 30, the new OINP draw (Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program) Express Entry draw handed out 1,052 invitations to claim provincial nominations.

A healthcare-targeted draw on October 26 invited 3,600 with a CRS score of 431 or above; given that candidates above 430 may receive direct invitations from IRCC, OINP used that draw as a reference and invited candidates below that.

Today's Express Entry profiles with experience in one of 42 healthcare-related occupations are considered under the Human Capital Priorities Stream (HCP) in the OINP draw. Profiles with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score between 404 and 430 will receive or have already received an invitation to accept provincial nominations from Ontario.

Manitoba PNP Draw (MPNP):

On November 30, 268 permanent residency invitations were sent out under various streams. In this MPNP draw, 50 of the invited candidates had both a job seeker validation code and a valid Express Entry profile.
