Guys we are in express entry pool with 462 points.Shall we create a new profile to get Pnp nomination or just wait for the next draw.Does this new system give pr faster
 
It depends. If the next draw is on Friday and the cut off is 461, then no. It's not faster. If the points stay above 463 for the next 3 months then yes it could be quicker
 
Thank you .If we create another profile and accept the nomination is ot guaranteed that we get pr.Also we would be out of express entry draw pool for next few months.Is it possible that aftee we accept the nomination they decline our application can be turned down.
 
Thank you .So there is a big risk.Suppose if we take the nomination ,we are no longer in the pool and hence we would not be picked from the next draw:(
 
Are you sure that you wont be in pool if you just decide to apply for oopnp? Logically one should be in the pool unless he/she is approved and given pnp ie given choice to accept pnp after their application is approved.
 
Hi that's what even I wanted to confirm that do we still stay in the pool and are eligible for draws till the nomination is confirmed.

So what is the benefit of accepting the OOPNP.

The lowest cutoff so far has been 453 and that was in mid April! No one knows how soon (or even if) the cutoff will fall close to 400.

OOPNP invite gives people with scores close to 400 a fighting chance (at the expense of 1500 CAD) to get an ITA.

Hi,

When you say we are no longer in the pool, I'm at 534, if I was to remove my profile and re enter (after the June 1 cut off) in order to get OOPNP then wouldnt I be back in the pool and elligible to receive ITA on draws below 534?

You will be eligible to receive an ITA under FSW/CEC/any other PNP until you receive and accept a nomination from Ontario. The only flip side is that you will lose 1500 CAD by withdrawing the nomination application.

From this link... http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNP_EE_CAPITAL_FAQ.html

I provided my application for nomination to Ontario and paid the appropriate fees. I recently received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from the federal government. What do I do?
If you wish to proceed with the ITA and withdraw your application for nomination you must notify MCIIT (see Q.13 on withdrawing an application).


Also, hope you understand the broad timelines under OOPNP.

1. You have 45 days to accept/reject the nomination. Accepting a nomination entails filling up and submitting the form along with a non-refundable fee of 1500 CAD. Actually, the fee is refundable if they reject your application as incomplete but non-refundable otherwise.

2. Under the program, MCIIT will process 80% of applications within 90 days. If your application is processed positively, you will receive notification about the nomination in your MyCIC account

3. You have 30 days to accept or reject the nomination. If you accept it, 600 points get credited to your account. With those additional 600 points, you will get an ITA in the very next draw (within 60 days assuming they do at least 1 draw every month).

4. After receiving an ITA, you have 60 days to accept or reject it. Accepting entails submitting all required documentation and paying the required fees.

5. Finally, CIC will process 80% of all applications within 6 months of submission. If your application is processed positively, you will receive your PR.

All the best!
