Hi all,
According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp, my CRS is 442.
IELTS - when I tried selecting higher bands than those I am really in, my CRS goes up to 454. But looking at the trend in 2016, don't think 454 will really help me get ITA.
OINP - While reading about OINP's Ontario Human Capital Priorities Stream, for which they have paused taking in applications as of now, it is stated :
"If you choose to be assessed against the FSWP criteria, OINP requires that you have a minimum of one year of continuous and full
- time employment (1,560 hours or more) or an equal amount in continuous part- time paid work experience in a National Occupation Classification (NOC) level 0, A, or B occupation in the past five years from the date of the PT Notification of Interest from Ontario"
My understanding is that the work experience stated above doesn't have to be in Ontario and could be anywhere in the world?
"If OINP identifies you in the Express Entry pool, you will receive a PT Notification of Interest from Ontario through your MyCIC account. This notification will invite you to apply to OINP for nomination under the Human Capital Priorities Stream"
How do they identify people to send PT NOIs to? So many of them would have met the eligibility criteria, so would they follow a lottery system to select people to send the PT NOIs?
SINP - I want to check if my understanding is right regarding SINP. According to https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/moving-to-saskatchewan/immigrating-to-saskatchewan/saskatchewan-immigrant-nominee-program/maximum-number-of-sinp-applications, the stream that will help increase CRS for FWSP is Saskatchewan Express Entry Sub-Category, but for that the application intake thresholds have reached for 2016.
Is this something that could open up in the upcoming months or is it done and over with for 2016 and only would open up in 2017?
I am looking into other provinces too meanwhile am hoping to find clarification to the above questions regarding OINP and SINP. Experts please advise.
Thanks.
