The latest Ontario Tech Draw was conducted on this August 1. In the draw, a total of 1,773 candidates who had entered the Express Entry pool before the timestamp of the Tech draw was invited to apply a provincial nomination certificate by the province.
What this means is that once a profile is shortlisted by the province, a Notification of Interest (NOI) will be issued to the profile owner. Upon receipt of the NOI from the province, the candidate can then apply for a provincial nomination certificate. The total CRS points that can be earned by such provincial nominations is 600.
