Ontario has issued new invitations to Express Entry candidates through its French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued Notifications of Interest (NOIs) to 85 Express Entry candidates on September 20 and followed this with another 46 NOIs issued on September 27.

The 131 invitations brought the total number of invitations issued through the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream in 2018 to 1,196.

Ontario said those issued an NOI in the September 20 invitation round submitted their Express Entry profiles between January 1 and September 20, 2018. Those issued an NOI on September 27 entered the Express Entry pool between January 1 and September 27, 2018.

Ontario has been conducting almost weekly invitation rounds through the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream since January.
