How it compares
No earlier draw of this stream falls inside the history this page reads, so no like-for-like comparison is possible. The one before it in the same province, of any kind, came 1 day earlier.
What this round selects
Provincial nominee programs run separately from the federal system: each province opens its own streams, sets its own criteria and publishes its own scores, which is why a provincial score cannot be read against a CRS cut-off. Ontario (OINP) ran this draw in its Masters Graduate stream stream. A provincial nomination is not permanent residence in itself — it is the step that lets someone apply for it, and in the streams aligned with Express Entry it also adds 600 points to the CRS.
What it means for your profile
If your profile was registered in the Ontario (OINP) stream on March 18, 2026 with a score of 30 or more, this draw would have reached you. A lower score does not remove your registration: provincial systems keep it on file for the period each province publishes, and it is considered again in later draws of the same stream. We do not use these numbers to predict the next round. What a round closes at depends on the pool on that date and on the instructions in force, so this figure describes what happened and nothing more.
