OINP Application sent in November 2015

[royce110]

You know what hurts the most: not getting fair treatment. Inspite of following all deadlines and rules, the oct- early nov applicants have been denied the same timeline that dec or future applicants will not be. This all is happening without giving any update to all of us and without our mistake.

What hurts the most is :
- the wait of one year( and God knows how much more time) to get nominated,
- the life getting standstill bcoz of OINP,
- the people who have applied way after you getting nominated before you. Here is no offense to anyone, but it hurts when someone who is standing behind you in the queue gets nominated before you.
- the people around you start questioning your status and asking you why is the delay happening and you dont hv any answers to their questions.
- the crying of your heart when you are lonely inside, or when you want you move to new life quickly, or when you want to move away from the daily routine, or when you want change but you cant bcoz of OINP.

Yes, I cried today and there was no way I cud hv stopped myself. I am just help less, never been so much before. I understand that there is life beyond OINP, but what if you have made "immigration to Canada" your life.

I just want my nomination now. I waited for long. OINP officers if you are reading this. Please send us our nomination. We hv waited for long. We had additional doc req in April/May, what more you need.

Please, please, please, please, please send us our nominations.

I dont know what more to do. I am lost now.

God please have mercy on us, please help us.

I am with you on this buddy, and a couple of others too who are desperate now.

Like you said, life has come to a standstill because we are unable to take any concrete decisions in our lives given the ambiguity of the nomination.

Check this thread for the process to recreate your profile http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/steps-create-new-express-entry-profile-on-expiry-of-old-profilesame-gckey-t455833.0.html

Okay,

Well, do I have to wait till my profile expires ? As currently I am not getting the Option of Express Entry. It's only Internation Experience Canada (IEC) & Interim Federal Health Program buttons which are available.

Thank you +1 to all of you.

Understandable. Justice delayed is justice denied. OINP nomination delay has given a perpetual stereotype of themselves as being archaic and unorganised, but OINP is also a salvation to many who were not able to get immigration without their nomination. However, that does not justify persecution of applicants because of OINP's irresponsibility and unaccountability.

True. A very bad picture has been painted, especially when applicants from december and jan have received nominations...

What else can we do, other than talk it out here and vent our emotions whilst subconsciously we wait desperately for good news,,,,,,,,

They acknowledged my new EE profile via email the very next day.

Dear Faraz,

Thank you for your inquiry.

This is to confirm that we have updated the changes to your profile.

Your new Express Entry number and job seeker validation code have been changed.

You will expect a correspondence from this office regarding your application very soon.

Sincerely.

Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program | Programme Ontarien des Candidats à l’Immigration

You're extremely lucky. I renewed mine one month ago and no response for acknowledgement from them.

What's your timeline faraz?

Oh my. Bro. Relax man. We are together on this $h!tty boat! I know how you are feeling - You gotta distract yourself. If you are into gaming, do that. If you are into vlogging, then do that. Concentrate on something else that makes you happy. I know this is hard but if I can try to do it, you certainly can. Its okay to cry - just let your feelings out of you. You will feel better after crying. Just take your mind of this and do something else. You see, there are still around 40 people in the November list waiting. You are not alone bro. We will get through soon! Don't worry.

Hi Raj,

My profile is expiring too. Do we have to create a new GC Key and then a new profile or create a new profile using the same GC key.

Also if the latter needs to be done which option do I have to click to create a new profile.

Thanks in advance.

Either way is fine. However, if you are doing it in the current profile, then wait till it expires. This is nomination season and the odds are that you will receive your nomination anytime now. So, because of that, I'd suggest that you wait until it expires and then re-create the profile.

The problem is not even the delay entirely. The problem is the lack of communication. That's what hit most of us so hard. Humans only have so much patience - applicants will hit rock bottom if this kind of opaque approach continues.

I am a nov end applicant and yet no nom. They have some other criteria which we have no idea of. My profile expires in 6 days.

I am a nov end applicant and yet no nom. They have some other criteria which we have no idea of. My profile expires in 6 days.

I doubt they've a criteria for this. Like a few others have found out after telephonic discussions with the OINP folks, they seem to have segregated the applications by batches. By some weird luck, the batch that processed late Nov - December applications have been able to finish up their stuff a lot faster.

Hang in there guys - I am pretty sure the nominations are on their way. Don't lose heart!

 

[farazh89]

You're extremely lucky. I renewed mine one month ago and no response for acknowledgement from them.

What's your timeline faraz?

App reached - 12th Nov
AOR : 10th March

 

[musicnlyrx]

Oh my. Bro. Relax man. We are together on this $h!tty boat! I know how you are feeling - You gotta distract yourself. If you are into gaming, do that. If you are into vlogging, then do that. Concentrate on something else that makes you happy. I know this is hard but if I can try to do it, you certainly can. Its okay to cry - just let your feelings out of you. You will feel better after crying. Just take your mind of this and do something else. You see, there are still around 40 people in the November list waiting. You are not alone bro. We will get through soon! Don't worry.

Thanks Raj for your support.
I just dont know what to do now as I had planned so many things. But bcoz of indefinite and untimed delay by OINP, I feel that I am betraying myself. I am betraying myself of the future that I believed would have been different in Canada than I have right now. I am betraying myself bcoz I had faith in the Canadian immigration system. Yes, I had heard the horror stories abt the indefinite delay of applications of some IRCC applicants, but I never thought I would be the victim of the same.

I just want to vent out my emotions. You know that in one of my previous posts I had mentioned that I will not post anything on the forum until I get my nomination, but I was wrong. I was wrong to understand that more I will keep myself aloof to everything, more my emotions will build pressure inside me and there could be an emotional breakdown. I don't want to go towards that path. I just want nomination and PR to Canada.

I don't know when will I see my nomination mail, I have lost interest in doing anything. But I will try my best to enjoy every moment with my family now. Faith/Hope is bigger than our fears.

My apologies If I had hurt any body's sentiments, please forgive a lost and defeated soul.

 

[musicnlyrx]

Understandable. Justice delayed is justice denied. OINP nomination delay has given a perpetual stereotype of themselves as being archaic and unorganised, but OINP is also a salvation to many who were not able to get immigration without their nomination. However, that does not justify persecution of applicants because of OINP's irresponsibility and unaccountability.

PrettyCanada, thanks for your support.
I just wish that everyone gets there nomination with fair and organized timeline.
No communication, indefinite delay, and no organization of application is hampering all of us, but the most hard hit are oct- nov applicants.

 

[musicnlyrx]

I am with you on this buddy, and a couple of others too who are desperate now.

Like you said, life has come to a standstill because we are unable to take any concrete decisions in our lives given the ambiguity of the nomination.

royce110, thanks for your support.
I wish I had some powers that could let me know the reason for the delay.
