Ontario has conducted regular draws throughout 2018 targeting streams including the Human Capital Priorities, French Speaking Skilled Worker, Skilled Trades and Entrepreneur.
The majority of draws, particularly in the second half of the year, have been aimed at the FSSW stream. The draws have generally been small in size, inviting less than 50 candidates on a weekly basis.
Ontario’s largest draw of the year came through the HCP stream, with 947 candidates invited in August 2018.
The recently-released federal government immigration levels plan forecasts an increase of 6,000 PNP immigrants in 2019, to 61,000.
Increases are expected to continue until at least 2021, when the government plans to welcome 71,300 PNP immigrants.
