On September 7, 2023, Ontario's immigrant selection program, commonly known as OINP, carried out its fourth draw of the year for French-speaking skilled workers.

In this recent draw dated September 7, 300 candidates got invites under the French's-Speaking Skilled Worker stream. To qualify for this specific round, folks needed a CRS score of at least 308.

Details for the September 7th Ontario PNP Draw:

• Date: September 7, 2023
• Invitations: 300
• CRS Scores: 308-434
• Express Entry Profile Dates: September 7, 2022, to September 7, 2023
• Kind of Draw: General

OINP regularly checks out the Express Entry pool to find people who might fit into Ontario's various immigration routes managed through Express Entry.

They usually send out these Notifications of Interest (NOIs) every week, give or take. The timing, size, and frequency of these draws are influenced by how many applications Ontario needs at that time.

About the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream:

The OINP's French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream is aimed at folks who can speak both French and English well and want to live in Ontario, Canada. The goal is to make it easier for skilled workers who speak French to move to Ontario.

To be eligible, you've gotta be good in both languages—think Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 in French and CLB 6 in English. Plus, you need to have work experience in a job that’s listed under the National Occupational Classification (NOC). These are usually jobs that Ontario really needs, like in healthcare, finance, or tech.

You'll also need a solid job offer in Ontario to be in the running for this program. The job offer should be for a position that fits the eligible NOC roles and meets certain requirements.

After getting the nod from OINP, you can move on to apply for permanent residency through the Express Entry system, making the whole moving process quicker.

This French's-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream is pretty crucial for French-speaking people with the right skills, helping them become permanent Ontario residents. It's a win-win: they get to live and work here, and Ontario gets more skilled workers and a more diverse culture.
