Hi I received the 1st portal email today FINALLY after 11 months of wait (AOR: Oct 7th)
FYI, EE PNP and got request email for passport this week.
Waiting for the portal email reply..
Thanks for the reply. I think it is just ethically obligated. Congrats on getting ITA! Actually I also got ITA without the nomination today. Also confused but researched a lot and found that it is not refundable after OINP is processing...
