Provincial Nominee Program Update — July 9, 2026

What You Should Do

• -Check your current CRS score and compare it against the July 6 PNP cutoff of 708 using the free Express Entry tool at canadavisa.com/express-entry-invitations-to-apply-issued.html — if your score is at or above 708, ensure your Express Entry profile is active and up to date at canada.ca/express-entry.
• -If you were mid-application under one of Ontario's 8 old OINP streams (e.g., Human Capital Priorities, Employer Job Offer streams), visit ontario.ca/page/2026-ontario-immigrant-nominee-program-updates immediately to confirm how the June 25, 2026 regulatory changes affect your application status.
• -Monitor the OINP website at ontario.ca/page/ontario-immigrant-nominee-program for the launch of the new Ontario Workforce Priority stream EOI system, expected to open in summer 2026. Prepare proof of arranged employment in Ontario and updated language test results (CLB 7 minimum in English or French) to be ready to submit an EOI quickly.
• -Review the PNP draw history table: CRS cutoffs have fluctuated widely in 2026 (708–805). Track upcoming draws every ~2 weeks and use the Express Entry pool comparison tool at canadavisa.com to assess whether a provincial nomination could boost your CRS score enough to receive an ITA.
