Why did OINP Draws invite Express Entry profiles between 496 and 516?

On August 15, the IRCC already invited Express Entry profiles with a CRS cutoff score of 496 or above.

So invited profiles by OINP between 496 and 516 can choose to decline Ontario’s provincial nomination since there is no point in adding extra hassle.

Any profile waiting in the pool with less than 473 can also wait to see the cutoff score in the next Express Entry draws since STEM and Healthcare draws are expected in the coming weeks.

OINP usually takes the higher range of the CRS cutoff near the latest Express Entry draw cutoff score.

This is the reason that they invited, in the first OINP draw, the profiles below the 517 cutoff score of the Express Entry draw on August 1, 2023.

In similar fashion, they chose the higher range of cutoff scores at 495 based on the cutoff score in the latest Express Entry draw on August 15, 2023.
