To coincide with the launch of Canada’s new National Occupational Classification 2021, Ontario immigration has updated the scoring for its Expression of Interest system.
The province says the update is intended to enhance regionalization, with top points for candidates with work or study experience in Northern Ontario.
The new scoring factors will also “improve operational efficiency, and reduce the program’s exposure to program integrity risks”, the province said.

An Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program statement said that candidates with EOI profiles submitted before November 16 – the launch date of NOC 2021 – would need to submit new profiles.
The OINP uses the EOI for applications to five of its most popular streams.
Those streams are:
Before applying to these streams, candidates must submit a profile to the Expression of Interest system.
Each profile is scored based on factors including education, language ability, skill and work experience among others (see below).
Ontario then selects candidates who are issued invitations to submit applications to one of the above streams.
Profiles in the Expression of Interest system can be updated at any time. An EOI profile is valid for 12 months or until an ITA is received.

Invitations to apply are issued periodically by the OINP. Draws are conducted on a general basis, by inviting the overall highest-scoring candidates, or on a targeted basis, by targeting candidates who meet specific labour market or human capital requirements.
Candidates who receive an ITA have 14 days to submit a complete application.
