If you are under no time pressure to apply, you could choose to wait and see. There’s a good chance there’ll be an all programs draw on Sep 30th and you’d likely get an invite. If that doesn’t happen, you can consider the NOI.

Old trend says that when there are 5 Wednesdays in a month they generally do a FST draw instead on such last Wednesday therefore I am expecting an all program draw on 14th Oct and thats the dilemma!
The 5 Wednesday thingy is not a definite rule; sometimes it happens like that. So again, wait and watch works well for you right? If September 30 is FST, you can immediately apply to OINP.
Awesome, dude!Got an ITA on Wednesday, submitted the application yesterday and immediately received the AOR. 17-month long twisty path from 463 to 458 to 466 to 474 finally reached a waypoint. Hopefully no more drama till the finish line
Good luck to everybody here waiting for an ITA!
I also got the ITA on Wednesday and am working on my application. A question: at what point will I have to upload the pdfs of my degrees/ECA/PCC etc.? For now, I only see info about myself and family members/work history etc. I don't see any document upload option.
I was just wondering if you could me as well. What's the requirement for uploading passport-size photo? Should it include the back of the photo as well with details of the photographer?
I just uploaded the jpeg image of the digital photo that I received from the studio. What I’ve understood is that the back details bit was a requirement from the paper application era and not really relevant for an online submission. Make sure the jpeg fits the required size and pixels.
wow that was fast, I got my ITA last August 5, but only managed to complete all the requirements yesterday. I'll be uploading the documents this weekend, what happens at AOR though?Got an ITA on Wednesday, submitted the application yesterday and immediately received the AOR. 17-month long twisty path from 463 to 458 to 466 to 474 finally reached a waypoint.

I would wait and see what the next draw is, and if you don't get an ITA, then go via OINP. It would be terrible to pass up that opportunity, and then the general draw scores average above your decreased CRS, and you can't get drawn.
Yeah, I wasn't asked for the rear. I got the stamp and signature at the store anyway, just in case.
AOR is just Acknowledgement of Receipt, which means IRCC acknowledges they have received the application you've submitted. Then your processing timeline begins.
I see, well just submitted my documents, and just received my AOR, hopefully my medical results go ok by December, and that the VAC near my place would already be open by then.AOR is just Acknowledgement of Receipt, which means IRCC acknowledges they have received the application you've submitted.
