Ontario Introduces New Express Entry Application Streams for the Provincial Nomination Program June 8, 2015 Overview On June 5, 2015 the Ontario government announced the creation of two new express entry application streams for skilled workers seeking permanent residence in Ontario. Applicants under Ontario’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) can now apply using the Federal Government’s Express Entry system. The two new streams are: The Human Capital Priorities Stream, and The French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream These application streams allow the Ontario Government to select candidates who meet the criteria for the Provincial Nomination Program out of the pool of qualified Express Entry Candidates. The Ontario Government is permitted to issue 5200 PNP nominations for 2015. Of those, 2,700 must be under Ontario Express Entry. Qualification Requirements To qualify, applicants must first meet the federal requirements for Express Entry under at least one of three federal programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class, or the Federal Skilled Trade Worker Program. After meeting the qualifications for Federal Express Entry, the applicant must then also meet the criteria for one of the Ontario Express Entry Streams. The Human Capital Priorities Stream Under this stream, the applicant must score a minimum of 400 points in the Comprehensive Ranking System under Express Entry. The application is then assessed based on the applicant’s work experience, education, language ability, settlement funds, and intention to reside in Ontario. The French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream This stream is for bilingual applicants with strong language skills in both French and English. As with the Human Capital Priorities Stream, applicants must also establish they meet the employment, education, and financial requirements, and they must intend to reside in Ontario. Who Should Apply This program is suitable for skilled workers with an employment offer from a company in Ontario, and the intention to live and work permanently in Ontario. Applicants who accept a nomination under the Ontario Express Entry program will also receive an additional 600 points in the federal Comprehensive Ranking System, increasing their chances of being invited to apply for Permanent Residence.

Victor Hernandez Andres and his team at Borders Law Firm really impressed everyone at Siller Helicopters. We came to Andres with a very complex case for work visas, with a time-sensitive and moving window. Andres was very responsive to all forms of communication which highly contributed to completing the work visa packets in a very short window of time. Their knowledge and attention to detail are impressive and made it a pleasure to work with Andres and his team. Our crews had no issues getting their work visas approved when they arrived in Canada. In fact, the Canadian officials complimented the visa packets they presented, stating they were the most professional and organized packets they had seen in a long time. Thanks to Andres and Borders Law Firm, Siller Helicopters was able to take part in the emergency restoration of power, to towns that were affected by this year's wildfires in Canada. Thank you again Borders Law Firm.
Neha K Borders Law firm - Devika OMG where do I start from.... so I got her number from my CA who I have been getting my taxes filed from last ten years. I was not sure what will happen to my mom's files becuase I had already tried four times before and everytime there was something or the other that happened and my application was not accepted... Devika has been my good luck, an angel in my life and a miracle believe it or not. I wish I could give you the details about why it was so so so important for my mom to get this immigration but unfortunately I can't share my personal details but I can tell you all one thing, that Devika and her team not only helped me with my mom's immigration case but also helped me with her super visa extension and all other obstacles we faced. I had no idea that my file can get approved so fast. Today I feel like my dream of having my mom here permanently came true all because of Devika.She is very knowledgeable, super patient, went out of her way to do, spent extra hours assisting me and completing this file. Always understood and heard my issues, with patience. I don't know how many times I cried with her and she always gave me hope and strength to be patient and wait for the approval. Honestly I am very impressed how she adds human touch to her immigration cases and treats the families with so much love and always been very professional as well. Devika is the best, she has an awesome awesome team. I can go on and on and on about her. I always suggest my friends her name and tell them about her services.It feels so good when I give her number to people in need of a good immigration lawyer, because in my heart I know that Devika will be able to help them with their immigration very well.She is the best Thank you Devika for being a great lawyer,a great human being and an angel in my life.

Satish Maduri I had a very good experience with Borders Law Firm. Though my PR file was a bit complicated, Brendan, Andres and Devika worked extremely well in a thorough and perfect manner. I was so happy when my PR application was processed in a record-breaking 45 days, thanks to the meticulous handling of my case by the lawyers.
Richa Jain Our biggest dilemma while researching for an Immigration Consultant was someone we could trust and that could manage our application well. We are so glad to have found Borders Law Firm. Devika gave us exceptional guidance due to which we got ICT Work Permit approval. Big thanks and appreciation for Jenny Mao for such professionalism and dexterity shown while handling our application. Kudos to BLF team for their superb work and simply for the trustworthiness they have ..… Best Wishes !
