πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ STUDY PRACTICAL NURSING IN ONTARIO – JANUARY 2027

Another Practical Nursing option for international students β€” and this one comes with an Entrance Scholarship! πŸŽ“πŸ’°

🏫 Centennial College – Morningside Campus
πŸ“ Toronto, Ontario

Centennial College offers a 2-year Practical Nursing Diploma designed to prepare students with the knowledge, skills and judgment required in today's healthcare environment. The curriculum is based on the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) Practice Standards and Guidelines and entry-to-practice competencies for Registered Practical Nurses.

πŸ“… January 2027 Intake – OPEN
πŸŽ“ 2-Year Diploma
πŸ’° First-Year Tuition: approximately $17,849 CAD
πŸ—£ IELTS: 6.0
πŸ’Ό PGWP Eligible*

πŸŽ“ $3,000 ENTRANCE SCHOLARSHIP

Eligible new international students beginning their first program at Centennial College in January 2027 may receive an Entrance Scholarship.

For a 2-year program, the scholarship is:

πŸ’° $2,000 – Year 1
πŸ’° $1,000 – Year 2
πŸŽ“ Total: $3,000

The program information also confirms that Entrance Scholarships are available to all nationalities and are automatically applied, subject to eligibility.

WHY CONSIDER PRACTICAL NURSING? 🩺

βœ… Healthcare Career – NOC 32101

Practical Nursing can lead toward becoming a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) in Ontario, subject to meeting Ontario's licensing requirements. The occupation falls under NOC 32101 – Licensed Practical Nurses.

βœ… Express Entry Healthcare Category πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

NOC 32101 is included in the Express Entry Healthcare and Social Services category, creating another potential immigration pathway once a graduate obtains the required qualifying work experience and otherwise meets Express Entry requirements.

βœ… Ontario Workforce Priority Stream ⭐

NOC 32101 belongs to Broad Occupational Category 3 – Health occupations.

Under Ontario's new Workforce Priority Stream EOI scoring system, Broad Occupational Category 3 receives 10 points β€” the highest score available for the occupational-category factor.

⚠️ Centennial's Morningside campus is in Toronto, so unlike Practical Nursing options in Eastern or Northern Ontario, there is no additional regionalization advantage from studying in Toronto. Regionalization scoring is based on the location of the qualifying job offer, not where the applicant studied.

πŸ“© Interested in Practical Nursing for January 2027?

With the intake currently open and an Entrance Scholarship available for eligible new international students, now is a good time to start preparing.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ STUDY PRACTICAL NURSING IN ALBERTA – JANUARY 2027

Looking for a healthcare program in Alberta with strong career potential after graduation?

🏫 NorQuest College
πŸ“ Edmonton, Alberta

NorQuest College offers a 2-year Practical Nurse Diploma with work placement, designed to prepare students for front-line roles in a variety of healthcare settings.

πŸ“… January 2027 Intake – OPEN
πŸŽ“ 2-Year Diploma + Work Placement
πŸ’° First-Year Tuition: approximately $27,004 CAD
πŸ—£ IELTS: 7.0
πŸ’Ό PGWP Eligible*

IELTS requirements listed for the program are:

β€’ Reading – 6.5
β€’ Writing – 7.0
β€’ Listening – 7.5
β€’ Speaking – 7.0

WHY CONSIDER PRACTICAL NURSING? 🩺

βœ… In-Demand Healthcare Career

Licensed Practical Nurses are classified under NOC 32101, TEER 2. Alberta currently describes the 3-year job-market forecast for LPNs as β€œHot,” indicating strong occupational demand.

βœ… Express Entry Healthcare Category πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Licensed Practical Nurses – NOC 32101 are included in Express Entry's Healthcare and Social Services category-based selection.

This can provide an additional immigration opportunity for candidates who later obtain the required qualifying work experience and meet the requirements of an Express Entry program.

βœ… Healthcare is a Priority in Alberta ❀️

Healthcare continues to be one of Alberta's priority sectors under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP).

For someone planning to build a career as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Alberta, this makes Practical Nursing an interesting program to consider from both a career and future immigration-planning perspective.

⚠️ Completing a Practical Nursing program does not automatically qualify someone for permanent residence or provincial nomination. Licensing, qualifying employment and the applicable immigration program requirements must still be met.

Looking for a healthcare program in Canada that may also provide opportunities for future immigration pathways?

🏫 College of the Rockies
πŸ“ Cranbrook, British Columbia

The Practical Nursing Diploma is a 2-year, face-to-face program designed to prepare graduates for professional nursing practice. Graduates are eligible to apply to write the REx-PN examination for licensure as Practical Nurses.

πŸ“… January 2027 Intake – Will Open
πŸŽ“ 2-Year Diploma
πŸ’° First-Year Tuition: approximately $18,314 CAD

The listed IELTS requirement is 7.0 overall, with Reading 6.5, Writing 7.0, Listening 7.5 and Speaking 7.0.

WHY CONSIDER PRACTICAL NURSING? 🩺

βœ… In-demand healthcare occupation

Licensed Practical Nurses are classified under NOC 32101.

βœ… Express Entry Healthcare Category πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Licensed Practical Nurses (NOC 32101) are included among the eligible occupations under Express Entry's Healthcare and Social Services category-based selection, subject to meeting Express Entry and category eligibility requirements.

βœ… Priority occupation under BC PNP ❀️

British Columbia identifies healthcare as an area of critical need under the BC PNP, and Licensed Practical Nurses (NOC 32101) are specifically included among its Care Economy – Health Care priority occupations.

This means Practical Nursing can be particularly interesting for students who intend to build their career in British Columbia after graduation. However, completing the program does not automatically qualify someone for BC PNP. The graduate would still need to meet the applicable BC PNP requirements.

🩺 Career: Licensed Practical Nurse – NOC 32101, TEER 2

Why this program is interesting for immigration planning

🩺 10 POINTS – Occupation Category

NOC 32101 belongs to Broad Occupational Category 3 – Health occupations. Under the new Ontario Workforce Priority Stream EOI scoring system, Category 3 receives 10 points β€” the highest available occupational-category score.

Of course, graduating from Practical Nursing itself doesn't give the 10 points. The applicant would ultimately need the qualifying LPN job offer/employment position and meet the other OWPS requirements.

πŸ“ 10 POINTS – Regionalization

Peterborough is specifically classified by Ontario as Eastern Ontario. A qualifying job offer located in Eastern Ontario receives 10 regionalization points. Northern Ontario is higher at 15, but 10 is still the second-highest level.

Again, the points come from the location of the qualifying job offer, not simply studying at Fleming.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ EXPRESS ENTRY HEALTHCARE CATEGORY

Licensed Practical Nurses (NOC 32101) are also specifically included in the current Express Entry Healthcare and Social Services occupations category.

Under the 2026 rules, the candidate needs at least 12 months of eligible work experience within the previous 3 years in a single listed occupation, in Canada or abroad, in addition to qualifying for Express Entry.

πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ BIG EXPRESS ENTRY DRAW FOR FRENCH-SPEAKING CANDIDATES!

Canada has conducted another French-language proficiency category-based Express Entry draw, and this one is a big one!

πŸ“Š EXPRESS ENTRY DRAW #433

πŸ“… Date: August 6, 2026
πŸ‡«πŸ‡· Category: French-Language Proficiency
βœ… Invitations Issued: 5,000
🎯 CRS Cut-off: 391
⏰ Tie-breaking Rule: March 18, 2026 at 23:32:40 UTC

πŸ”₯ 5,000 invitations with a CRS cut-off of only 391!

This is another strong reminder of how valuable French-language ability can be under Canada's current Express Entry system.

To qualify under the French-language proficiency category, candidates must have an approved French language test with a minimum NCLC 7 in all four language abilities.

And this category isn't limited to just one Express Entry program. Eligible candidates may come from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), or Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).

πŸ‡«πŸ‡· Parlez-vous franΓ§ais?

If you're already studying Frenchβ€”or thinking about learning itβ€”this draw shows why French can potentially become a major advantage in your Canadian PR strategy.

Canada's stated economic goal for this category is to support Francophone immigration outside Quebec.

πŸŽ‰ STUDY PERMIT APPROVED AFTER 2 PREVIOUS REFUSALS! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Congratulations to my client, Royce, on her Study Permit approval! πŸŽ“πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Royce previously had two refusals from her DIY Study Permit applications. For her 3rd application, she decided to seek professional assistance and entrusted me with her case.

After two previous refusals, her third application was finally APPROVED! πŸ™

Every application has its own circumstances, and a previous refusal does not automatically mean that the next application will also be refused. What matters is understanding the previous refusal concerns and preparing the new application accordingly.

Congratulations again, Royce! πŸŽ‰ Thank you for trusting Abayon Immigration Services with your application. Wishing you all the best as you begin this new chapter of your journey in Canada! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦β€οΈ

⏰ Tie-breaking Rule: July 3, 2026 at 21:35:13 UTC

3,000 invitations is good news for CEC candidates! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

The CRS cut-off remains at 516, so candidates who are close to this score should continue looking for ways to improve their Express Entry profile.

Remember, your CRS is not necessarily permanent. Improving your language score, gaining additional eligible work experience, adding your spouse's credentials where applicable, or obtaining a provincial nomination could potentially increase your score.

And if your CRS is still far from the recent CEC cut-offs, don't focus on Express Entry alone. Depending on your background, occupation and province, a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or another PR pathway may be worth exploring.

πŸ“© Not sure about your PR options?

Send us a message to book an immigration consultation. We can assess your background, calculate your potential CRS score, and discuss which Canadian immigration pathways may be available to you.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ EXPRESS ENTRY DRAW – PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM (PNP)!

Canada has conducted another Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw, inviting 507 candidates to apply for permanent residence. As expected, the CRS score remains high because candidates who receive a provincial nomination are awarded an additional 600 CRS points.

πŸ“Š Draw Results

βœ… 507 Invitations Issued

🎯 CRS Cut-off: 768

⏰ Tie-breaking Rule: May 15, 2026 at 3:58:19 PM UTC

πŸ’‘ What does this mean?

If your CRS score seems far below 768, don't be discouraged. This is a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw, meaning most invited candidates received a provincial nomination worth 600 additional CRS points.

For many applicants, obtaining a provincial nomination can significantly improve their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

🚨 Ontario Workforce Priority (OWP) Stream is NOT OPEN Yet!

We've been receiving questions about Ontario's new immigration stream, so here's an important update.

The Ontario Workforce Priority (OWP) Stream is not yet accepting Expression of Interest (EOI) registrations.

Ontario has already published the eligibility requirements and updated its website, but the EOI system will launch later this summer.

πŸ“Œ What you can do now:
βœ… Review if you meet the eligibility requirements.
βœ… Make sure your occupation and work experience qualify.
βœ… Gather your supporting documents.
βœ… Calculate your potential EOI score and identify ways to improve it before registration opens.

Remember, you cannot submit an EOI yet. At this time, applicants can only prepare while waiting for Ontario to announce the official launch date.

We'll post an update as soon as Ontario announces that the EOI system is live.

πŸ“© If you're planning to immigrate through Ontario and want to know if you're eligible under the new Workforce Priority Stream, send us a message and we'll be happy to assess your options.
