This week's Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws have invited applicants to two Canadian provinces.
The federal and provincial/territorial governments of Canada share responsibility for immigration. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) allot a certain number of nominations through the PNP to each province and territory (except Quebec and Nunavut) to choose economic immigrants who are most compatible with the local labor force and economy.
An over-nomination from a province does not equate to permanent residency. However, applicants who successfully seek provincial nomination will have an enhanced application when they submit an IRCC application to become permanent residents.

Ontario
The Ontario Immigrant Nominees Program (OINP) extended invitations to 402 applicants over the course of two days this week. On June 17, the first two drawings were held. 84 applicants were invited by one employer to the Employer Job Offer: International Student stream.
Candidates for assistants and early childhood instructors were specifically targeted by it. For consideration, a score of sixty or above was necessary. 106 early childhood educators and assistants from the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream were likewise the focus of the day's second draw. To be eligible for an ITA, these individuals had to score 39 or above.
Ultimately, 212 individuals from the OINP French-speaking Skilled Worker pool were called to a draw on June 20. Since the draw was generic, applicants with scores between 305 and 409 were taken into consideration and no particular occupation was targeted.
