That's not a problem, your employer cannot deny your employment with them.

But his employer can very easily get rid of him by the very first possibility (with immigration process he will be lost asset for his employer). That is what he is worried about. Especially he does not know how fast will he get nomination and how fast can he go through the federal part.

Thank you so much my friend... what about the other provinces other than ontario, should i be licensed in order to be nominated by them?

No, it's unrealistic for IRCC or any province except you to get licensed before becoming a permanent resident, as getting licensed is a long process. However, they will expect you to have a plan! What I mean by that is that you will be interviewed at some stage in the process (for OINP you'd likely need to mention this in your letter of intent to settle in Ontario) and during your interview they will ask you how do you plan to get licensed once you become a permanent resident.

Let's say your a doctor and would like to practice medicine, to get your license your probably looking at 6-18 months process (I'm guessing here, could be wrong but you get the idea) where you'll need to show them you're a capable doctor. During this time you'll not be allowed to work as a doctor, so what will you do to earn a living while you're taking the exams to get your license? There maybe some job that is not license that you can do, like a nursing technician (again another guess but you get the idea). You'll need to think about this and have a plan ready otherwise they'll probably reject your application.

Good luck!

You're quite right... some employers will fire their employees as soon as they learn that the employee will leave in soon, as the employer will no longer consider that employee reliable or dependable! May not get fires straight away, but will likely be high on the list of the next cut...

The BEST option here is to explain the situation to your boss and hope he likes you enough to not fire you and give you a good reference if called... But if you fell that's not an option then your only resort is to mention this in a LoE, something like "Please don'y contact my employer as this will probably get me fired because XYZ" and hope they respect your wishes... What I'd like to think would happen is that that OINP will not contact your employer (because at the NoM phase you're still quite a while away from your PR), but IRCC probably will (as by that point your PR is will be due in a short time)...

No, you're fine! EVERYTHING (with the exception of your medicals) freezes after your AOR, so they will check if your documents were valid at the date of your AOR and not after that.

Hi all,

Can you please answer the following question regarding age. I am having a question answers email thread with OINP but still not clear about the requirement of maintaining 400 score after I get nominated. My score will drop to less than 400 soon due to age increase after getting PT notification which most probably I will get. OINP said that score drop due to age doesn't count after getting NOI. Age at the time of NOI is considered till I get nomination. But then there is again a requirement of maintaining 400 till applying for PR in IRCC/Federal stage.
I am still not clear about the maintaining 400 score requirement in Federal stage after getting nomination. Will they give me age relaxation/exemption during the Federal stages as well ( i.e. through ITA & ePR stages after the nomination) as they will give me during OINP stage? My points will be certainly less than 400 after getting nomination.
Thanks a lot!
I'm sorry I have tried to ask this question several times on this forum Guys who have already answered me several times I'm thankful.


The discussion is below:

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have a question regarding increase of age and resulting ineligibility in OINP Express Entry.

Now please refer to point 7.2 of your OINP guide book.

"7.2 MAINTAINING A MINIMUM CRS SCORE OF 400
You must maintain a minimum score of 400 points on the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) through the Ontario processing stage and your Application for Permanent Residence to IRCC.

You should be aware that changes in personal circumstance can affect your CRS score. These include:
Marriage or common-law relationships;
Change in English or French language levels following revised testing; and
Work experience falling out of the eligibility period for the Canadian
Experience Class (i.e., no longer having one year of Canadian work within the last three).

It is your responsibility as an applicant to ensure that you update
your information in the Express Entry portal if there is a change in
your circumstances so that your CRS score is accurately calculated.
If a change in circumstance results in your CRS score falling below 400, it is your responsibility to inform OINP. If your score falls below 400
before you have been nominated, you must with draw your nominee application. If your CRS score falls below 400 after you have already
been nominated, but before you apply for Permanent Residence, you must
inform OINP of the change in your CRS score, at which point OINP will withdraw your nomination. Note that failure to contact OINP if your
CRS score falls below 400 will result in a refusal of your Application for Permanent Residence by IRCC."

I know that when my age increases and my score goes below 400, I will not be disqualified in OINP stage and I will get a nomination so long as I continue to qualify under all other criteria. That's clear. Ok.

Now the next stage comes i.e. the Federal or IRCC stage. You mentioned above in the guide "If your CRS score falls below 400 after you have already been nominated, but before you apply for Permanent Residence, you must inform OINP of the change in your CRS score at which point
OINP will withdraw your nomination."

My question now is:

So after getting OINP Nomination, same relaxation or exemption will be given to me in the Federal stage (ITA and ePR stages) as well which was given to me in OINP regarding increase of age? My age will increase and my score will surely become less than 400 before getting an ITA or before I apply for permanent residence. Would that then make me ineligible even after getting a nomination from OINP, or would I be eligible till I apply for permanent residence?

Sincerely,
Sam.

Short answer: YES! Don't worry about age...

If you drop below 400 due to age that's fine AT ANY STAGE... What can't happen is: you cannot drop below 400 because you scored lower on your IELTS when you retook, or, you've added an additional applicant and so have dropped below 400... In short, the only drop below 400 which is tolerated is age!
