Hello All,

I received the NOI from Ontario and finished filling the mandatory fields in the application yesterday.

I tried to make the payment using the credit card but unfortunately I received the error below within 5 seconds.
I did not refresh the page or do anything and it automatically threw an error. I received the message that the amount (1500 CAD) has been deducted from the credit card already but the status of the application has not changed to "submitted". The current status is still 'waiting for submission'.

I have currently sent an email to OINP.technical-POCI.technique@ontario.ca but havent received any update yet on this.

Did anyone receive the same error while making the payment?

Error:
[1]error running sub-process 'CMOD Initialize Online Payment' at step 'Run'.(SBL-BPR-00183)
[2]error.Please try again.If you continue to encounter problems, please email the ministry for assistance.(SBL-BPR-00132)

Any quick help is appreciated as the deadline to submit the application is approaching.
Hi when did you receive NOI? Is it this month?

I second that. We really need a miracle. Are we really too old to contribute something to Canada? I hope CIC reviews the age thing. This is the Ray of Hope after all.
Are you also 40+?
Unfortunately I think they are going to keep favoring the younger immigrants, especially those under 30, because Canada's population is aging. Like in many developed countries, people are living longer and having fewer kids, so the average age is going up. However, we are also staying healthier for longer, and as we say over here, 30 is the new 20 and 40 is the new 30, so we can still be young and healthy even when our dates of birth say we are old ... :oops:

Folks, any chances of a draw happeneing tomorrow (the 15th)? They just issued 2,000 ITA's last week, so we may be in with a decent chance of a draw either tmorrow or a much bigger one on the 22nd.

Interesting that the CIC hasn't updated the Express Entry pool data since October 26th on their website...

I have another concern w.r.t work experience letter for my previous employment. During 2013-15, I was working as a management consultant and deputed for an Government IT project. The project was awarded to a leading consulting firm who in turn had engaged a third party manpower provider for providing resources.

My terms of association with this third party facilitator was on retainer ship engagement model. I was an independent vendor providing consulting services. Also the ITRs I filed for those 2 yrs was of a self-employed professional. Presently that company is no longer operational. I have following documents available as of now-
  • Original agreements (incremental) and an revision of service charges (addendum)
  • Bank a/c statements
  • Form 16 & subsequent ITRs
  • Resignation Acceptance & Termination of Contract confirmation (on emails)
Reporting manager for this engagement is presently working with some other organization and has agreed to provide me with an undertaking, specifying the job duties, in format I deem suitable. Additionally I have also contacted the client (A senior bureaucrat overseeing the project) and he has also agreed to provide me a reference letter specifying the job duties performed on his official letter head. Need your guidance on the below points-

1. Ex-reporting manager has a scanned copy of his ID card available but not visiting card. Would this suffice as an acceptable supporting document?

2. Can both the reference letters (Ex- Manager & Client) have the same set of job duties? Would that create any kind of doubt on assessing officer's mind?

Regards

but such a long wait will bring the crs up wouldnt it? ........... what are the chances of it comming back to 448?
Isn't 2 weeks the normal wait?

If the next draw happens on Nov 22, the CRS should come down to the 440-449 range.
