The Province of Ontario has conducted a selection process for in-demand occupations
Invitations were extended to representatives from the health care industry.
The Province of Ontario on November 30 held a draw for the Human Capital Priorities Stream, which is designed for in-demand professionals. What makes the stream special is that the list of eligible occupations changes from draw to draw. This time, the province was recruiting professionals with occupations in the medical field.
A total of 1,052 invitations were sent out today to candidates who scored between 404 and 430 points in the Comprehensive Ranking System. This spread is noticeably smaller than in the previous similar draw on September 26.
Points are awarded for factors such as language skills, age, work experience, education and so on.
To apply under the Human Capital Priority Stream, you must register with Express Entry and meet the requirements of one of the federal immigration programs:
