The candidates who have received invitations in the July 29 Ontario Tech Draw have 45 calendar days to submit their application for provincial nomination.

The added points ensure that the candidate will receive an Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residence in Canada in the subsequent federal Express Entry draw.
