Again, I don't think there's a direct relationship between EOI and the numbers of individuals arriving in Canada under the provincial nominee program or any other economic stream. The annual levels plan is the vehicle through which those numbers are established every year.
EOI becomes a pre-application stage, mandatory for certain economic streams. We're in discussions with provinces and territories about their interest in using EOI for provincial nominee programs. Coming at it another way, it is a potential recruitment tool for provinces, territories, and employers to have access to a new group of individuals, prospective immigrants, those who've made it into the EOI pool.
It’s a way of making connections between employers and these candidates and potentially with provinces and territories if they are interested.
