Hi,

I currently have a work permit from BC and have an application open in express entry pool Received a Notification of Interest message to apply through OINP. While entering details for Work History under Human Capital Priorities Stream, i came across a question "Were you issued a valid work permit for this job in Ontario? ".

For this, my work permit was issues in British Columbia so naturally my answer is No. But there is another message that appears for this, "Please note that the OINP will only consider work experience legally obtained in Canada.".

So should go ahead and have it as Yes? and ignore the question mentions Ontario or go with No considering the work permit is in British Columbia.

Please provide guidance on this.

Yeah, I opted for no.
Did you get the nomination? I got the post graduate work permit in ontario. And the question is if i got the work permit for the job which is not the case as i got the wp after studies. So I shud choose no?
