Prospective applicants who meet the HCP Stream criteria, have a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 400, and are identified in the Express Entry pool will be sent a NOI.
The OINP is an economic immigration program designed to help Ontario meet its labour market and economic development priorities. For this round of NOIs, the program will also be targeting candidates in high-demand skilled trades in the construction sector who meet the criteria of the HCP stream. These occupations include:
Carpenters
Electricians (except industrial and power system)
Construction millwrights and industrial mechanics
Welders
Painters and decorators (except interior decorators)
Plumbers
Bricklayers
Roofers and shinglers
Sheet metal workers
Tilesetters
Boilermakers
Plasterers, drywall installers and finishers and lathers
Industrial electricians
So can seniors here help to clarify some of my thoughts please?
For those people above 400 and apply to OINP, not all will get NOI, correct?
So the OINP officials go through the EE profiles and cherry pick those who they want, among those above 400. Is this correct?
And with that list of in-demand occupations, even if my NOC is not within that list, I could still be picked, yes?
Provided I am above 400.
How do officials decide who among those above 400 will get shortlisted for NOI?

CRS should be definitely 400+ but i dont think matters how much it is above 400, after 400 i am sure it depends on you NOC and a some algorithm they use, i think they choose profiles created approx n-7 days before they start sending noi, where n=date at which they start to send NOI, i am CRS 407 but my profile got greated a day before they started sending noi and i got it, This was back in Feb 2017.
Good luck to everyone who is expeting, hope everybody gets it.

I'm currently at crs 402 and created my profile yesterday. Done with the job bank registration. Today my profile's application status changed from 'pending additional criteria' to 'We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.'
Does that mean my EE profile has been activated and I'm in the EE pool or will it take some time to get there ?
