Ontario Province has conducted its Human Capital Priorities Stream draw on March 02, 2021. This shows Ontario will continue to invite applicants regardless of FSWP invitations in year 2021. The previous draw happened on Feb 02 and this time it is in March. The CRS range this time is 463 – 467 and only those profiles which were created between March 02, 2020 to March 02, 2021 got the nomination. Now this is funny, cause the profiles are valid for one year only (Am I repeating myself), and this combines to a complete year. Anyways, they have issued 754 NOIs which means, another 700+ applications are removed from express entry portal (If they accept, obviously). There are more details into it.
