When we say recreating profile - do we mean pressing withdraw profile button then creating a new one? or a new GC key

I am in the same boat, profile created in November, I may recreate tonight, not sure really what the best course of action would be.

how do you recreate a profile - withdraw first and then some option will appear to create new? or starting from a new GCKEY

Good Luck Everyone who is planning OINP route! I would do it myself if not for being attached to Alberta already.

Now we will have 6,600 profiles in EE with high CRS. Maybe that will push more ITA's ;)

OINP will Resume Issuing Notifications of Interest http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPNEW.html

If you are eligible and want OINP to issue NOI to you, Recreate your Express Entry profile as it has been observed in the previous years that OINP sends NOI to newly created profiles. Please keep in mind, if you are expecting ITA, then recreating profile would be a disadvantage if your CRS score is exactly the same as the cut off due to the tie breaker rule.
This is very important, at 441 I don't want to risk it.

Just need your rough forcaste. What do u think crs will go to around 419? I have included my wife and now i am thinking to exclude her that she will not be accompanying me. Just worried a lil too much.
If i exclude here i am at 448.
Please let me know according to yoir thought when will be crs at the lowest or 419. In a month or two ?
Thanks
It depends on when CIC would either increase the number of ITAs issued per draw OR have 1 week gap draws. Unless one of these happen, it is very unlikely the CRS cut off would go down till 419. OINP is always an option for those with CRS 400 and above.

Silly question but does that mean thousands of people will have 1000 points or something next week?

@abhishek_89 what are the odds for a draw today, I just got refused for OINP due to not meeting their requirements but waiting eagerly with 439..
If CIC conducts draws every 2 weeks with atleast 2750 ITAs, you should be receiving ITA soon.

They are going to issue new NOI's (notification of interest).

After someone receives their NOI, they will have 45 days to undergo the province stream, sending their documents, being analyzed, etc.

Only after all the process above, people will receive nomination, and thus receive 600 CRS score points in EE.

How is "new profile" defined? I have mine from Nov 17, 2017. Is it too old?

I am expecting an ITA with 441 in April or afterwards. So, I am thinking it might be a cheaper business to wait for a direct ITA than go through OINP route (I want to settle in Ontario eventually). Besides, I am also saving up funds so that I will have enough by April.
Mine was re-created the day they announced last year and got the NOI within 24 hours. So, I don't know what would exactly constitute a new profile but definitely one created right now would be new.

The below is from the OINP FAQ page (http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNP_EE_CAPITAL_FAQ.html):
  • I meet Ontario’s stream criteria. Why haven’t I received a Notification of Interest?
Express Entry is Citizenship and Immigration Canada application management system to manage permanent resident applications for skilled migration to Canada.

Ontario uses Express Entry (EE) to select potential nominees for permanent residence under two Ontario Express Entry Streams.

It has come to our attention that technical issues may have resulted in candidates not receiving a Notification of Interest (NOI) though they believe they meet the criteria for Ontario’s Express Entry streams. If you believe you fall into this category and have not received an NOI after one month of submitting your EE profile, we encourage you to create a new profile in the EE system. If you create a new EE profile, you must delete your old profile.

So, I am assuming a profile created within the last one month would be considered as new.

With 2750 ITAs being issued and draws happening every 2 weeks, CRS 441 is good enough to get a direct ITA.

Hi @abhishek_89


I am sitting on 435 & i have submitted by profile on 2nd January. Would you recommend me to recreate my profile & apply for OINP once they send me the invitation. with 435, I am really confused as the first draw of CIC was not prosperous & I am really worried whether they will decrease the cutoff to 435 any time soon or not. Can you pls advice? :(
As your profile was created pretty recently (only 2 weeks back) and as you are very much near to being on the receiving end of the tie breaker rule, my personal opinion is not to recreate profile.

At CRS 441, I would say it is very risky to recreate profile. The Jan 24th draw could be around that score and you don't want to miss the ITA due to the tie breaker rule.

No. OINP is not a superfast process.

They would issue an NOI and then the applicant accepts it and submits their OINP application. OINP processes/reviews the submitted application and then approves it and sends the nomination. When the applicant accepts the nomination, only then does the applicant get the 600 points. So it would approx take 2 months for those who get NOI now to get the 600 additional PNP points.
