OINP Tech Draw

Most of the major tech hubs of Canada such as Toronto, Ottawa and Waterloo are located in Ontario. By introducing Tech Draw, OINP aimed to meet the growing demand for skilled tech workers. Since its launch in 2019, three Ontario Tech Draws have been conducted so far. As the draw is being conducted through the Express Entry-aligned Human Capital Priorities Stream of the OINP, it is necessary for the candidate to have an active Express Entry profile to be eligible for selection. The candidates selected for provincial nomination will have 600 additional CRS score points added to their total CRS score.

It is not necessary for the candidate to have a job offer to be selected. But they must have continuous paid full-time work experience of at least one year or equivalent part-time work experience in a relevant occupation. The other requirements to apply for a provincial nomination through the Human Capital Priorities Stream include:

  • Education equal to Canadian Bachelor’s degree or higher
  • Minimum language proficiency equal to CLB/NCLC level 7 (English or French)
  • Intention to settle in Ontario.
  • Residing legally in Canada, if the application is being submitted from inside Canada
  • Proof of settlement funds

Canada has numerous opportunities for foreign skilled workers if they wish to move to the country. If you are looking for a better future in a foreign country, Canada is the right destination for you. Contact us to know more about migrating to Canada through PNP.
