Seniors need some advice. It is not easy to score 8,7,7,7 but my wife did score those in March 2019 and with reassessment we received right scores in june so lost 2 months with stupid reassessment thing. Now after covid, we received OINP this decemeber which we applied immediately as our score is 461 so no chance for getting ITA anytime sooner i guess. Now as per British council our ielts score will expire on March 23,2021 but original assessment date was june 4 th when technically they gave us right scores. Based on past experience seniors, what do you suggest? Will my profile be locked with this score?

second question, will they consider the assessment date or test date as Express entry profile generally expires when your assessment date scores expires. I am very nervous considering it is not easy to give tests these days and thinking that god is again very harsh on us

Test scores are valid for two years from the date of test. What is the date of test on your new TRF? If its the original test date, then your score will expire in two years from that date.

If you get nominated, I think you just need to score a CLB7 as your CRS will be way over the cutoff but not too sure about this. Also when applying to IRCC, your IELTS score should be valid at the time of submission.

Agreed on clb7 after nomination. Problem is that Ontario has not been processing files faster enough. Do I need to hold that score till I get nomination? The scores should be locked in the system I guess.

You should be nominated before your IELTS results expire. Try as much as possible to submit your application before the ielts expires. Everything locks in after AOR so it doesn't matter if it expires afterward.

No as you already submitted the application and your score was valid at the time of submission. Even if your score expires now, OINP will nominate you. I would suggest you to give another test so that you can submit to IRCC without any worries. OINP is taking 90 days to nominate and might take even longer due to year end holidays and you will be cutting pretty close to your test expiry date.

My application took exactly 90days from submission to approval (timeline at the time was 60-90days). Since timeline have been adjusted to 30-60days, it shouldn't exceed that. All things being equal, you should get nominated by February 2021. I hope you submitted a good application as any ADR would further delay your application.

Hey man submitted your application?
Hi buddy! Not yet, figured an error on my bank reference letter at the last minute and won't be getting another one until next week so I will submit before the end of next week. Everything other things have been sorted, just the reference left.


Any update on yours? MEP/BIL yet?

Also, did you mean by aor for Ontario PNP? That once I submit all documents it gets locked?

Nothing yet, my application will complete 2 months in third week of January, hoping for something by then.

Also, my wife is primary applicant and her job duties matches with 2174 but education is not. In that noc it says usually required. She has around 3 years experience in this field and we have drafted a cover letter stating what she has done. Will that be having any issue with oinp?

Hello everyone, please kindly help me out. Initially, I used my cousin as a relative to register for EE and Ontario which was 467.
However, Ontario's last minimum nomination was 460, so they sent me an invitation. but people told me EE only recognize blood relationship.
So I decided to remove my cousin and my wife. my score is 462 now.
Should I go ahead to receive the Nomination and make payment
will there be any issue with me editing the EE?
