After reading "Application Guide: Ontario’s Express Entry Human Capital Priorities Stream" what I understood is that OINP searches the Express Entry pool and identifies potential candidates who may meet the criteria of the Human Capital Priorities Stream and issue Notification of Interest (NOI).
This seems to me that if I submit my profile in Express Entry I am automatically considered for OINP. But a reputed Consultant told me that I am not automatically considered for OINP. is it true?
You MAY be issued a Notification of Interest (NOI) by OINP if you meet their eligibility criteria. Just because you meet their eligibility criteria does not automatically mean you will be issued a NOI.
You cannot apply separately to OINP. When you create EE profile and indicate interest to reside in Ontario, Ontario searches the pool and nominate whosoever they deem fit.
